The SAS Object Spawner stops spawning jobs when you use an expired password in a SAS^® 9.4 grid-launched workspace server environment. This problem occurs when the environment is configured to forward Kerberos tickets to the SAS workspace server, which is launched on the grid via IBM Platform LSF.

The Object Spawner stops spawning jobs because the kinit command that is used to create the Kerberos ticket cannot respond to the new password prompts generated by the expired password.
