Enabling the properties needed when using Integrated Windows Authentication with the SAS Java clients on SAS® 9.4M8 (TS1M8)


On SAS 9.4M8, if you use Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) to log on to the following Java clients, you need to apply the hot fixes available in SAS Note 71112:

In addition to applying the hot fixes, you need to complete the following steps on each middle-tier node in order for IWA to work with these clients:

  1. Go to the /<SASHome>/SASWebInfrastructurePlatform/9.4/Configurable/wars/sas.svcs.logon/
    WEB-INF/classess
    directory.
  2. Make a backup of the application.properties.orig file in a different location (that is, /backups).
  3. Add the following lines to the end of the application.properties.orig file:

##

# Enable to keep the old TGT behavior for the Java clients like SAS Enterprise Miner Client and SAS Forecast Studio.

#

sas.ticket.createtgt.keepoldtgt=true

  1. Save the change.
  2. Rebuild and redeploy the SAS® Web Infrastructure Platform web application. See Administer SAS Web Applications in the Middle-Tier Administration Guide for more details.
  3. After you complete the rebuild and redeploy of the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform web application, ensure that the /<SASConfig>/Lev#/Web/WebAppServer/SASServer1_1/sas_webapps/sas.svcs.logon.war/WEB-INF/classes/application.properties file has the sas.ticket.createtgt.keepoldtgt=true setting was added.
  4. Restart SASServer1_1 to pick up the change:
