Problem Note 53793: "Security Services Error: No credentials cache found" error occurs when Kerberos credential cache is not found
 |  |  |  |  |
An error similar to the following might occur when you attempt to authenticate using sasauth:
Security Services Error: No credentials cache found.
The error occurs when a credential cache (or "ccache") is not found. A credential cache is required when the pluggable authentication module (PAM) is configured for Kerberos authentication, but it is not created in SAS® 9.3 TS1M2.
Click the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.
The hot fix adds the PAM_SETCREDENTIALS=TRUE option to the !SASROOT/utilities/bin/sasauth.conf file in SAS 9.3 TS1M2.
