Administering Portal Authorization

Enabling SAS BI Portlets for SAS Information Delivery Portal 4.3 on JBoss

If SAS Information Delivery Portal 4.3 runs on a JBoss Web application server, and Secure Sockets Layer is configured in your environment, then edit the server.xml file to specify the emptySessionPath parameter within the section on SSL Connector. The value for this parameter should be set to true.

If SSL is configured, and the emptySessionPath parameter is not defined manually in the server.xml file, then SAS BI Portlets will not function properly with SAS Information Delivery Portal 4.3.

Here is an example of the section on the Connector in the server.xml file where the emptySessionPath parameter has been specified.

Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
     maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
     clientAuth="true" sslProtocol="TLS"
     useURIValidationHack="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
     address="${jboss.bind.address}"
     keystoreFile="${jboss.server.home.dir}/conf/server.keystore"
     keystorePass="ServerAdmin123"
     truststoreFile="${jboss.server.home.dir}/conf/server.truststore"
     truststorePass="ServerAdmin123"
     emptySessionPath="true"
