Installation Note 43840: The external ID value for the SAS Trusted User needs two slashes ("host\\user-id") in the weblogicLogin.config file
When you migrate from SAS® 9.2 to SAS 9.3 with Oracle WebLogic, you might see a warning
similar to the following in the BIDashboardEventGen log:
2011-05-19 16:28:21,931 [Thread-127] WARN []
com.sas.bi.eventgen.Impersonator - Failed to authenticate user domain\myExternalID.
com.sas.svcs.authentication.helper.TrustedAuthenticationException:
javax.security.auth.login.LoginException:
The application could not log on to the server "fully-qualified-machine-name:8561". The
user ID "domainmyExternalID" or the password is incorrect.
This only occurs for configurations that use an external ID for the SASTRUST
user. To work around this problem, perform one of the following options:
- Automated configuration or manual configuration with a sample domain: After the configuration finishes, edit the weblogicLogin.config file by adding another backslash between the host name and user name. For example, change all occurrences of "trusteduser"="domain-name\sastrust" in
the weblogiclogin.config file to "trusteduser"="domain-name\\sastrust". Then, restart your servers.
- Remote manual configuration with scripts and cached credentials: In the credentials.properties file in configuration-directory/LevN/Web/Scripts/Weblogic/props/, find the property for the SAS Trusted User. In that property, add two more backslashes after the two existing backslashes. Then run the batch script to
build the configuration.
- Remote manual configuration with scripts and credentials that are NOT cached (this is default
option): Run the batch script to build the configuration. When you are prompted for the SAS Trusted User, specify TWO backslashes in the name rather than one.
