I don't pretend to be a Win NT guru, but I can't think of a way of using
native NT authentication for SAS applications. If I were in your situation,
I would contact my IS group and find out if LDAP was used for directory
services and user authentication for company applications, as is the case
where I work. I would then request the necessary additions to the LDAP
directory and use Base SAS features to authenticate users to my application.

I don't
<br>think that SAS stores the password. At least I feel more comfortable
if it
<br>doesn't.

<br>Subject: Username and Passwords
<p>Does anyone know if you can interface with Windows NT to check for a
valid
<br>username and password entered by the user in a SAS application?
I would
<br>like to be able to prompt for a username and password and authenticate
it
<br>with the operating system's (in this case NT) security.
<p>Thanks,
<p>Steve Wade</blockquote>
