Problem Note 52961: Anonymous access and basic authentication for a SAS® Stored Process might not work after you migrate to SAS® 9.4
 |  |  |  |
When you run a SAS Stored Process using the SAS Stored Process Web Application, you might find that neither anonymous access nor basic authentication work properly if the SAS® Metadata Repository was migrated from SAS® 9.3 to SAS® 9.4.
If you encounter this problem, be aware that user authentication does not work properly in the following cases:
- A URL that is similar to the following does not work properly for anonymous access:
http://your–server.com:8080/SASStoredProcess/guest - A URL that is similar to the following does not work properly for basic authentication:
http://your–server.com:8080/SASStoredProcess/do1 - A URL that includes the _USERNAME= and _PASSWORD= parameters might not work correctly.
In these cases, you are prompted to provide authentication by using SAS Logon Manager.
You can avoid this problem by using the following workaround:
- On the Plug-ins tab in SAS® Management Console, select Application Management ► Configuration Manager ► SAS Application Infrastructure ► Stored Process Web App 9.4 ► Properties.
- On the Advanced tab in the properties dialog box, add the property name and value:
- For Property Name, enter App.AcceptDirectCredentials.
- For Property Value, enter true.
- Save the changes.
- Restart your application web server to activate the change.
