In SAS Studio, a SAS Workspace Server connection failure can occur when you switch to a different workspace server using the Change SAS Workspace Server menu action. Along with the failure, the following error is generated in a pop-up window:

SAS Studio
The user "user_name" could not log on to the server
"host-name:8591".

This problem occurs when the workspace servers are configured to use SAS token authentication.

The problem does not occur when you use host authentication. Therefore, as a workaround, configure the workspace servers to use host authentication rather than SAS token authentication.
