If a SAS client supplies a blank or empty password to connect to a
remote SAS server, the client may fail to authenticate.  On some
systems, it is valid for a user to enter a blank or empty password to
access the remote server.

This problem is likely to occur if the SAS server was started with
SASAUTH authentication.  For example, starting the SAS/Integration
Technologies Object Spawner with SASAUTH authentication:

   /usr/local/sas8/utilities/bin/objspawn -authprog ./sasauth

Known SAS clients that may encounter this problem include:

  Enterprise Guide
  SAS/CONNECT
  SAS Integration Technologies (VB, Java, etc.)
  SAS Information Delivery Portal
  SAS/SHARE

To correct the problem, the SAS server must be started with an updated
SASAUTH authentication module (available in an upcoming hotfix).

A Technical Support hot fix for Release 8.2 (TS2M0) for this
issue is available at:
