Password Security

SAS Visual Analytics App accesses servers on which reports are located. Typically, these servers are configured to require a user ID and password before permitting access.

Servers Running SAS Visual Analytics 2020.1 or Later

When SAS Visual Analytics App connects to a server running SAS Visual Analytics 2020.1 or later, the user enters their credentials by using a web logon interface to the server. The password is never stored on the mobile device.

Servers Running Earlier Versions of SAS Visual Analytics

SAS Visual Analytics App stores the user ID and password on the mobile device.

The app uses application programming interfaces (APIs) provided by the mobile device’s operating system to store and retrieve this information:

  • Android uses the AccountManager API.
  • iOS uses the Apple Keychain APIs.
  • Windows uses the Microsoft Credentials Locker.
