If Tomcat starts from the default Apache Tomcat service that is
installed with Tomcat, attempting to use the SAS Stored Process server
results in user authentication failure.

The error produced if you request a debug trace, for example,
http://yourserver.com:8080/SASStoredProcess/do?_program=
%2FSamples%2FStored+Processes%2FSample%3A+Hello+World&_debug=trace,
is similar to the following:

   Disable the default "Apache Tomcat" service.

   Error authenticating user domain\sasdemo

   Check username/password and verify authentication server is running.

   access denied (com.sas.services.user.CredentialPermission
      readCredential ReadCredential)
   java.security.AccessControlException: access denied

The problem occurs because the default Tomcat service is not started
with the proper security settings as required by the SAS web
applications.

To resolve this issue, either start your Tomcat server by using the
shortcut that has been created in the SAS application group or refer to
SAS Note  #013439  for instructions on creating a SAS-specific Tomcat
service.
