If you change your Windows password after SAS Enterprise Guide or SAS BI Server is installed and if you have a single-machine, single-user configuration of SAS Enterprise Guide or SAS BI Server, then you will need to update the password in a few additional places. Perform the following steps to update the password information in your SAS installation.

1. Use either SAS Personal Login Manager or SAS Management Console to change your password in the SAS metadata repository.

   • Perform the following steps to change your password in SAS Personal Login Manager:

     1. Start SAS Personal Login Manager by selecting Start Programs SAS SAS Personal Login Manager 9.1 from the Windows Desktop.

     2. If the application does not open a metadata profile by default, then the Open a Metadata Profile dialog box will be displayed. Select the metadata profile for your metadata repository and click OK.

     3. If you did not save your user name and password in the metadata profile, then the Enter your user information dialog box is displayed. Enter your user name and password and click OK.

     4. In the SAS Personal Login Manager window, right-click the password for your user name and select Modify on the pop-up menu.

     5. In the Edit Login Properties dialog box, enter the new password in the Password and Confirm Password fields.

     6. Click OK to save the password and exit the Edit Login Properties dialog box.

     7. Select File Exit from the menu bar to exit SAS Personal Login Manager.

   • Perform the following steps to change your password in SAS Management Console:

     1. Start SAS Management Console by selecting Start Programs SAS SAS Management Console 9.1 from the Windows Desktop.

     2. If the application does not open a metadata profile by default, then the Open a Metadata Profile dialog box will be displayed. Select the metadata profile for your metadata repository and click OK.

     3. If you did not save your user name and password in the metadata profile, then the Enter your user information dialog box is displayed. Enter your user name and password and click OK.

     4. Select User Manager in the navigation tree of the main SAS Management Console window.

     5. In the list of users that are displayed in the right pane of the main window, right-click SAS Administrator and select Properties on the pop-up menu.

     6. In the SAS Administrator Properties dialog box, select the Logins tab.

     7. Right-click the password for your user name and select Modify on the pop-up menu.

     8. In the Edit Login Properties dialog box, enter the new password in the Password and Confirm Password fields.

     9. Click OK to save the password and exit the Edit Login Properties dialog box.

     10. Click OK to exit the SAS Administrator Properties dialog box.

     11. Select File Exit from the menu bar to exit SAS Management Console.

2. Change your password for the SAS Object Spawner. You can choose to save your password in plain text or encrypt your password.

   1. Optionally, you can encrypt your new password using SAS proprietary 32-bit encryption. For example, to encrypt a password of "SAStrust1" you would submit the following code in the SAS Program Editor:

      proc pwencode in='SAStrust1' method=sasenc;
run;

      Copy the encrypted password that is written to your SAS log. It begins with the string {sasenc}.

   2. Use a text editor to open the object spawner's OMRConfig.xml file, which is located in the SAS configuration directory. The following path is an example location of the OMRConfig.xml file:

      C:\SAS\BIArchitecture\Lev1\SASMain\ObjectSpawner\OMRConfig.xml

      where C:\SAS\BIArchitecture is the configuration directory that you specified in the SAS Configuration Wizard.

   3. In the OMRConfig.xml file, locate the following line:

      <Login Name="Metadata Login" UserId="&apos;your-user-name&apos;" Password="your-password" />

      where your-user-name is your user name and your-password is your password.

   4. Replace the value of the Password parameter with the new value (either in plain text or in its encrypted form). Ensure that you overwrite the entire value that is enclosed in quotation marks (").

   5. Save the OMRConfig.xml file.

3. If you have SAS BI Server installed, then you must also change the password for SAS Web Report Studio. For instructions, see Usage Note 24259 , which describes the steps for changing your SAS Web Report Studio password.

4. If you restarted your machine when you changed your SAS Web Report Studio password, then you do not need to restart your machine again. Otherwise, restart your machine.
