Using Base SAS to validate Windows Password
- by Bazil
We have a signon script that requires a Windows password in order to access and validate against the SAS metadata server.
The problem is that if the windows password is changed, and the script is run a few without being updated, then the user gets locked out and has to call IT support for a password reset.
What is the simplest way of using Base SAS to validate a windows password? ie to enable a warning to the user if the password provided is not valid...
EDIT:
The concern is not whether or not this SHOULD be done, only HOW it could be done!
