Configure Your Deployment for Single Sign-On Web Authentication

SAS 9.4 web applications can be configured to use single sign-on web authentication. For more information, see the steps in Web Authentication in SAS Intelligence Platform: Middle-Tier Administration Guide. After you complete those steps, an additional configuration is needed. You must apply the latest SAS Model Manager 14.1 hot fix (V85008 or later) for the new single sign-on configuration to be available. For a list of the latest hot fixes, see SAS Model Manager 14.1 Hot Fixes.
To configure SAS Model Manager to use single sign-on web authentication:
  1. Edit the setenv file for your operating environment.
    Environment
    File
    Directory
    UNIX
    setenv.sh
    /config-dir/Levn/Web/WebAppServer/SASServer11_1/bin
    Windows
    setenv.bat
    \config-dir\Levn\Web\WebAppServer\SASServer11_1\bin
    Add the following option to the JVM_OPTS line: 
    -DMMSingleSignOn=on
  2. In Windows environments, edit the wrapper.conf file in the \config-dir\Levn\Web\WebAppServer\SASServer11_1\conf directory.
    Add the following line in the Java Additional Parameters section: 
    wrapper.java.additional.n=-DMMSingleSignOn=on
    The number n is the next number in the sequence of the wrapper parameters.
  3. Restart SASServer11.
    Note: The option is needed only on SASServer11; it is not needed on SASServer7.
