Usage Note 68960: You can create a Kerberos Git profile after a hot fix provides a new configuration property, allowGitKerberosAuthentication

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

SAS® Viya® 3.5 does not enable you to create a Kerberos Git profile.

Click the Hot Fix tab in this note for a link to instructions about accessing and applying the software update.

After you apply the hot fix in this SAS Note, you can use a new configuration property, allowGitKerberosAuthentication. When the setting for this property is set to true, you can create a Kerberos Git profile. An optional parameter is added to each remote function (GIT_CLONE, GIT_PUSH, GIT_PULL, and GIT_FETCH). Here is an example with the GIT_CLONE function. The 1 in this syntax indicates that Kerberos authentication is needed:

data _null_;
   rc=git_clone("Kerberos-URL", "target-directory", "", "", "", "","", 1);
run;

To use Kerberos authentication, Kerberos must be installed and configured on your SAS Server. Contact your system administrator if you need help setting up Kerberos.
