Usage Note 15302: Error: Access denied for user@domain when using LDAP as the
authentication provider
The following error may be seen in the Metadata Server log file when
using LDAP as the authentication provider.
Error: Access Denied.
New client connection (10) rejected from server port 8561 for user
user@domain.
This problem has been encountered when the person entry LDAP attribute
that stores the user ID contains "cn" instead of the default value of
"uid".
To correct the problem, set the environment variable, LDAP_IDATTR, to
the value of "cn" and restart the Metadata Server.
On Windows the variable can be set in the Metadata Server configuration
file located by default in c:SAS<plan filename>Lev1
SASMainMetadataServersasv9_MetadataServer.cfg where <plan filename> is
the name of the plan.xml file used during installation.
For example:
-set LDAP_IDATTR "cn"
On UNIX the variable can be set in the the MetadataServer.sh shell
script located in .../Lev1/SASMain/MetadataServer/ MetadataServer.sh.
For example:
LDAP_IDATTR="cn"
export LDAP_IDATTR

Implementing Alternative Authentication Providers in the SAS® 9.1.3
Integration Technologies: Server Administrator's Guide for instructions
on setting environment variables on Z/OS.
