Problem Note 63873: Shared-credential, grid-launched application servers fail to launch with the error "Could not authenticate..." when you use SAS® Workload Orchestrator
 |  |  |  |  |
After you configure an application server that uses a stored launch credential for grid launching using SAS Workload Orchestrator, validation fails. The application server is usually the pooled workspace server or stored process server. In this scenario, you see an error similar to the following:
PROVIDER(SAS): Unable to get grid information from the master host.
Cannot initialize the grid provider module.
To confirm that you are encountering this issue, set the object spawner logger app.tk.tkegrid to Trace. This log shows that the object spawner is attempting to call SAS Workload Orchestrator using the SAS installation account without a password rather than using the sassrv credential that is stored in the metadata:
connectGrid: Unknown authentication for user=sas
...
restHeaderWriter: Data: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
