Usage Note 68611: A SAS/CONNECT® client signon on SAS® 9.x or SAS® Viya® 3.x to a SAS/CONNECT spawner for SAS® Viya® 2020 and later fails with an error
 |  |  |  |  |
In a SAS Viya 2020 environment, you can launch the SAS/CONNECT server in the following two ways:
- In the same pod as the SAS/CONNECT spawner. This configuration uses security settings on the container for the SAS/CONNECT spawner. This method is known as a locally launched SAS/CONNECT server.
- In a separate pod from the SAS/CONNECT spawner. In this scenario, the SAS/CONNECT spawner is launched with the -nolocallaunch parameter. This configuration ensures better management of resource utilization within the Kubernetes cluster, ensures user-level process isolation, and meets compliance requirements for container security.
Beginning in stable 2024.03 and Long-Term Support, the locally launched SAS/CONNECT server was deprecated.
Beginning in stable 2024.09, the ability to locally spawn a SAS/CONNECT server inside the SAS/CONNECT spawner pod has been removed.
SAS® 9.4M6 (TS1M6) and earlier clients can connect to only a locally launched SAS/CONNECT server. These clients will not be able to connect to a 2024.03 and later SAS/CONNECT spawner. As a result, you should migrate to SAS® 9.4M7 (TS1M7) or later.
When a SAS 9.4M7 or SAS® Viya® 3.5 client tries to connect to the SAS/CONNECT spawner in SAS Viya 2020 and later releases with the -nolocallaunch option, the connection might fail with the following message:
To allow the SAS 9.4M7 or SAS Viya 3.5 client to handle a new communication flow with the SAS Viya 2020 and later SAS/CONNECT spawner using the -nolocallaunch option, a hot fix for the SAS 9.4M7 and SAS Viya 3.5 client is required.
Click the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.
NOTE:
- SAS/CONNECT servers launching in a new pod has been the default behavior for SIGNONs to the SAS/CONNECT spawner (SAS Viya) since 2021 (-nolocallaunch).
- The error below can be caused by other issues (that is, anything that would cause the SAS/CONNECT server to start).
