Note: For metadata-aware connections to the stored process
server, the pooled workspace server, and the OLAP server, SAS token
authentication is always used and no configuration is involved. For
the standard workspace server, configuring SAS token authentication
is one of several solutions to a mixed provider situation.
To configure the standard
workspace server to use SAS token authentication:
-
Log on to SAS Management
Console as someone who has user administration capabilities (for example,
sasadm@saspw).
-
On the
Plug-ins tab, expand
Server Manager and the application
server
(for example,
SASApp).
Right-click the logical server
(for example,
SASApp - Logical Workspace
Server) and select
Properties.
-
On the
Options tab, select
SAS token authentication. Click
OK to save this setting.
-
Expand the logical server
, select the server
, right-click, and select
Properties.
-
On the
Options tab, from the
Launch Credentials drop-down
list, select a login and click
OK. The most
basic choice is the SAS Spawned Servers account (the
sassrv login).
-
To make the changes
take effect, refresh the object spawner.
-
To validate the configuration,
select the logical workspace server
, right-click, and select
Validate.
Note: Metadata layer access from
the server (for example, library pre-assignment, PROC OLAP code, and
metadata LIBNAME engine use) will still be based on each requesting
user's identity. However, all host access from the server will now
be under the designated launch credential.
