Metacoda Identity Sync Utilities (idsync-utils)

Intro

This site provides documentation for the Metacoda® Identity Sync Utilities (idsync-utils) repository on github where you will find extra samples and SAS macros that can be used with the Metacoda Identity Sync Plug-in.

Metacoda customers and partners, and potentially other SAS customers, may find these utilities useful when setting up an identity synchronisation process between a SAS® Metadata Server and an external identity provider, such as Microsoft Active Directory.

Installation

Choose a suitable location in the file system on your SAS server (or workstation) and clone the repository from github e.g.

git clone git@github.com:Metacoda/idsync-utils.git

or:

git clone https://github.com/Metacoda/idsync-utils.git

Alternatively you can download a ZIP file from https://github.com/Metacoda/idsync-utils/archive/master.zip and unpack it into the desired location.

If you want to make the SAS macros available using the SAS autocall facility you can add the path to the idsync-utils/sasautos directory into the SASAUTOS option by adding the following line into the appropriate sasv9_usermods.cfg file for your SAS platform installation e.g. /opt/sas94m4/config/Lev1/SASApp/sasv9_usermods.cfg

-insert sasautos "/path/to/idsync-utils/sasautos"
