Problem Note 50535: A "Security processing failed" error occurs when you use a DB2 user ID that is case sensitive
 |  |  |  |  |
When you use SAS/ACCESS® Interface to DB2 with a user ID that is case sensitive, running code against DB2 might lead to this error:
*
For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed
Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be
fixed.
ERROR: CLI error trying to establish connection: [IBM][CLI Driver] SQL30082N
Security processing failed with reason "24" ("USERNAME AND/OR PASSWORD INVALID").
SQLSTATE=08001
The error occurs because your SAS® software is sending the user ID in uppercase characters to the database.
Workaround
SAS has a new LIBNAME option to maintain the case when passing the user ID to the database. Use the LIBNAME statement option as follows:
PRESERVE_USER=YES
To set this option globally, use the environment variable as shown here:
SAS_DB2_PRESERVE_USER
Set the environment variable on your Windows system as follows:
- Select Start ► Control Panel.
- Click System to display the window that contains your system information.
- Click the Advanced system settings link, in the upper left part of the window.
- In the System Properties dialog box, click the Environment Variables button.
- Under System variables, click New to open the New System Variable dialog box.
- Enter the variable name: SAS_DB2_PRESERVE_USER NAME
- Enter the variable value: YES
- Click OK, OK, and OK.
To set the option on a UNIX system, add it to the !SASROOT/bin/sasenv_local file where !SASROOT is the directory in which you installed your SAS software.
