Problem Note 67823: A new SAS® Studio 3.8 or 3.81 installation or configuration generates a 404 error when you attempt to log in

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

SAS Studio generates a 404 error when you attempt to navigate to the login page at http://host-name:38080/SASStudio.

This problem occurs because the webdms.allowResultsActions property is missing from the SASHOME/SASStudioBasic/3.8x/war/config/config.properties folder.

Starting with SAS Studio 3.8x, the webdms.allowResultsActions property  was included in a hot fix for SAS Note 67264, "SAS® Studio allows cross-site scripting via a maliciously formed SVG file." After either hot fix J7H001 or D8F006 is either applied or installed, the hot fix enables the webdms.allowResultsActions property on your system.

Note: Hot fixes J7H001 and D8F006 are "container" hot fixes that contain the following "member" hot fixes that are specific to SAS Studio:

  • J7G001 updates SAS Studio 3.81
  • D8E006 updates SAS Studio 3.8

If you are not sure whether you installed either of the above hot fixes, you can generate a ViewRegistry Report as described in SAS KB0036131, "Using the ViewRegistry Report and other methods to determine the SAS® 9.2 and later software releases and hot fixes that are installed." The report lists the specific member hot fixes. See What is a container hot fix? for more information about container hot fixes.

If you did not install either of the above hot fixes, here is how to ensure that you have the property on your system:

  1. Edit the config.properties file at this location: SASHOME/SASStudioBasic/3.8x/war/config/

    Note: Back up this file first.
     
  2. At the bottom of the config.properties file, create a new line and add the following property:

    webdms.allowResultsActions=true
     
  3. Save and close the config.properties file.
  4. Restart the SAS Studio services: SASStudioSpawner and SASStudioWebAppServer.
  5. Navigate to http://host-name:38080/SASStudio again. The SAS Studio login page should appear as expected.
