To facilitate authentication,
follow these steps:
Note: This is one of several possible
approaches.
-
On the machine where
the ArcGIS server is running, create a new Windows account named
esriuser.
Make this user a member of the
agsusers group
(this Windows group is created during the ArcGIS installation).
-
Store the user ID and
password for the
esriuser account in
the metadata as follows:
-
Log on to SAS Management
Console as someone who has user administration capabilities (for example,
sasadm@saspw).
-
On the
Plug-ins tab,
right-click
User Manager and select
New
Group.
-
On the
General tab,
enter the name
Esri Users.
-
On the
Members tab,
move all of the identities that need to access the server to the
Current
Members list box.
-
On the
Accounts tab,
click
New.
-
In the
New
Login Properties dialog box enter the user ID in qualified
form (for example,
machine\esriuser)
and password for the esriuser. Also assign the login to the authentication
domain of the ArcGIS server (for example,
Esriauth).
All of the members of
the
Esri Users group can now access
the ArcGIS server.
Note: If you want to provide access
for all SAS users, add the esriuser login to the SASUSERS group (instead
of adding the login to a new group as described in this example).
