Problem Note 42095: Attempt to log in to SASĀ® Metadata Server fails if either a userid or password containing a DBCS character was used previously
If you attempt to log in to the SAS® Metadata Server from a SAS
client after having previously logged in with a userid and/or password that contained a double-byte character set (DBCS) character, the attempt might fail. The following error appears in the
Metadata Server log:
2010-12-10T16:08:51,908 INFO [00535692] :sasinst - Invalid connection
to authentication server.
You will still be prompted for your credentials.
The error is reported to the Metadata Server by the
SAS Authentication Server.
The sasauth debug log will report the following note and error:
NOTE: Bad Connection to Authentication Server.
ERROR: Unknown User: Authentication failed.
There are issues unrelated to SAS that can cause the Authentication
Server to fail with an "Unknown user" error.
However, in diagnosing this problem, the more important message
is the "Bad Connection to Authentication Server" note.
For confirmation, follow the instructions in
Usage Note 39891.
Select the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for
this issue.
