Set ulimits for SAS Web Applications

On the SAS middle tier system, set ulimit settings in /etc/security/limits.conf for the Installer user account that runs the SAS Web Application Server processes.
For example, here are ulimit settings added to /etc/security/limits.conf for the Installer user account, sas:
sas - nofile 150000
sas - nproc  100000
sas - stack  10240
The NPROC (max number of processes) changes do not take effect unless /etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6) or /etc/security/limits.d/20-nproc.conf (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7) is also changed.
For example, to allow 100,000 processes on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, make the following change to /etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf:
sas  soft  nproc  100000
