SASUSER for Workspace Server configured for Token Based Authentication / shared launch credential

bheinsius — Mon, 25 Mar 2019 13:53:35 GMT

Hi,

At my customer's site, the Workspace Server is configured to use Token Based Authentication, so using a shared account.

Because of this the SASUSER library is set readonly (-RSASUSER).

Users still would like a personal library like what SASUSER offers. What would be the best option here?

I don't really like the option of defining a separate library for every single user.

Regards,

Bart Heinsius

@bheinsius ,

Not to use SAS Token Authentication? Actually, you should be able to get a METAUSER in autoexec*.sas, maybe you can create a personal library for them there.

@alexal already pointed in the right direction: you can use something like

libname private v9 "base-dir/&_MetaUser.";

in the autoexec_usermods.sas config file.
