Problem Note 64772: SAS® Cloud Analytic Services authentication fails when you use one-time passwords in SAS® 9.4 M6 (TS1M6)

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

An authentication failure occurs when you use one-time passwords in SAS 9.4M6 to access SAS Cloud Analytic Services. 

To determine whether you are experiencing this problem, add options set=CASCLIENTDEBUG=1; to the SAS program and look for two authentication attempts. Here is an example:

options
cashost="cas.example.com"
casport=5570
metaserver="sas9meta.example.com"
metaport=8561
metauser="sasdemo"
metapass="mypassword"
set=CASCLIENTDEBUG=1;
cas mysess authdomain=_SASMETA_;
NOTE:  Credential obtained from SAS metadata server.
NOTE: Client is using userid=sasdemo@!*(generatedpassworddomain)*!,
      password=***
NOTE: Client is using the userpass identity provider
NOTE: Sent challenge length 208
NOTE: Received response length 53
NOTE: User sasdemo connected to CAS using user/pass.
NOTE: Client is using userid=sasdemo@!*(generatedpassworddomain)*!,
      password=***
NOTE: Client is using the userpass identity provider
NOTE: Sent challenge length 246
NOTE: Received response length 68
NOTE: Got disposition, severity 2, reason 4, message SAS Logon Manager
      authentication failed: Access denied.
ERROR: Connection failed. Server returned: SAS Logon Manager authentication
       failed: Access denied.
ERROR: Request to CONNECT failed for UUID . Failure occurs when a
       disconnected CAS session exceeds the timeout value and terminates,
       when the specified UUID is not correct or designates a session that is
       already connected, or when authentication fails.

The first authentication attempt succeeds, as indicated by the message "User sasdemo connected to CAS using user/pass." The second authentication attempt fails, as indicated by the message "SAS Logon Manager authentication failed: Access denied."
