Cannot connect to server

Could not login to Enterprise Miner.  Contact your administrator..

To circumvent the error, use this checklist to change the password for a single-user install of SAS Enterprise Miner 5.1.3 or 5.2.

1. Launch SAS

   Start ► Programs ► SAS ► SAS 9.1 (English)

   Do not use SAS 9.2 to encode the password. Encoding is handled differently in SAS 9.2 and will cause errors when starting the object spawner.

   In the program editor, specify your new password in quotes using PROC PWENCODE. For example, if you want your new password to be Password1:

   proc pwencode in="Password1";run;
   

2. Observe the encrypted password value PROC PWENCODE creates in the SAS system log. In this example the value will be "{sas001}AbCdEfGh=".

   Highlight and copy the encrypted password from this line. The encrypted password value consists of all non-blank characters beginning with the first curly brace. In this example, highlight and copy:

   {sas001}AbCdEfGh=

3. Navigate to and edit this file:

   C:\SAS\EMiner\Lev1\SASMain\ObjectSpawner\OMRConfig.xml

   where "EMiner" is the name of the installed plan (the name may vary from site to site).

4. In the OMRConfig.xml file, find a line that looks like the one below (with your workgroup and ID instead of "SASCARY\Fred"). Update the password by replacing the password contents and saving the file.

   <Login Name="Metadata Login" UserId="&apos;SASCARY\Fred&apos;"
   Password="{sas001}AbCdEfGh=" />
   

5. Restart the object spawner (usually a service called "SAS Lev1 OB - EMiner"), or reboot your computer.

6. For SAS Enterprise Miner 5.1.3, Launch the SAS Enterprise Miner configuration utility: Start ► Programs ► SAS ► Enterprise Miner ► EM5.1

   Advanced Configuration

   In the configuration window that opens, enter your new Microsoft Windows password and click Next, then Finish. The application should exit without any messages.

7. Use the new password to log on to SAS Enterprise Miner.
