Configuring User Authentication

Some SAS products include functionality that requires SAS to check user authentication and file access authorization. As a result, some files in your SAS installation must have setuid permissions and be owned by root. To set up the utilities that the spawner uses and to complete your deployment, run SASHome/SASFoundation/9.4/utilities/bin/setuid.sh as root. If you do not run this script, the setuid permissions are incorrect, and SAS Studio cannot spawn workspaces.

For more information, see the “Post-Installation Configuration for User Authentication and Identification” chapter in Configuration Guide for SAS Foundation for UNIX Environments.
