SAS/CONNECT User's Guide

Security Support Provider Interface

SAS software support the Microsoft security support provider interface (SSPI), which enables a Windows NT user to be transparently authenticated on another Windows NT machine. This enables SAS/CONNECT users to perform a scriptless signon to a spawner that resides on a remote Windows NT host without specifying a userid and a password. A remote SAS session will be created with the same security context as a local user. To find out more about this capability, see Communications Access Methods for SAS/CONNECT and SAS/SHARE Software.
