Tim,

Thanks!  SAS Tech Support gave me exactly the same advice, and it worked
like a charm.  I was afraid from the SAS/SECURE reference that there
would be additional $$$ involved, but that was not the case.  (At least,
they didn't ask for my credit card number.)

I beleive you'll need this:

I've not tried/tested it, but I found in the 9.1.3 Documentation:

SAS/SECURE SSL Add-In Package

In order to use the SAS 9.1.3 SSL software, you must review the
licensing terms and download the appropriate SAS/SECURE SSL Add-In
Package from the SAS download Web site.
