If SAS Trusted User (sastrust@saspw) is an unrestricted user and you are using a pooled workspace server, queries in SAS Information Map Studio and SAS Web Report Studio will fail.

For example, when attempting to run a query, you might see an error message that includes the following content, indicating that a connection to the pooled workspace server on port 8701 has been refused.

Connection refused: connect 
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect 
............
[ com.sas.services.connection.FatalConnectionFactoryException: The application could not 
log on to the server "machine.name.com:8701". No server is available at that port on that machine. 

Following is another typeof connection error that you might see in the application or the log.

ERROR [] com.sas.servlet.tbeans.valuepicker.ValuePicker - 
An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
 

In addition, the object spawner log will contain messages similar to the following, indicating that a password cannot be retrieved for the launch credentials for the pooled workspace server (typically, sassrv).

   Error 1326 (Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. ).
2010-09-01T10:30:06,119 WARN  [00000021] SYSTEM@machine - The credentials specified for the SASApp - Pooled Workspace Server (A53BEC7R.AV000006) 
  server definition failed to authenticate. Therefore this server definition will not be included.
2010-09-01T10:30:06,120 WARN  [00000021] SYSTEM@machine - The password obtained from the metadata indicates 
  that it was obtained by an user that has unrestricted access.  Please check your configuration.

To resolve this problem, perform these steps:

1. Log into SAS Management Console as an administrative user (such as sasadm@saspw).
2. Under the User Manager plug-in, open the properties for the SAS Trusted User.
3. Click the Groups and Roles tab.
4. Edit the SAS Trust User's memberships so that he is not a member of any of the following groups or roles.
• SAS Administrators
• Metadata Server:Unrestricted
• Metadata Server:User Administration

Note: You must also ensure that the SAS Trusted User is not an indirect member of any group or role with unrestricted privileges.

5. Restart your object spawner.
