Unable to launch SAS Environment Manager after trying to configure SSO fro web clients

RupaJ — Thu, 27 Feb 2020 18:47:59 GMT

Hello,

SAS ersion - 9.4 M5 on linux.

I took a complete backup of the /opt/sas folders from metadata and compute server and tried setting up the IWA for mid-tier applications (web clients). Our metdata and midtier are on the same server and compute on a different server.

After following the steps from the documentation for setting up SSO for web clients and restarting the SAS services, I am now unable to even launch SAS Environment Manager. I am getting a "HTTP status 404 - Not found " error. I then tried to restore everything under /opt/sas/config/midtier/Lev1/Web from the backup that I took, since that's where all the changes to the configuration were made. I am still getting the same 404 error. How can I restore the SAS EVM now? Should I try and restore everything under /opt/sas?

Also what logs should I check for SAS Environment Manager? When there is an issue, where should I first check for any debugging?

Thanks

@AnandVyas - Here is the doc that I followed, along with the SAS general documentation.

https://support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings16/SAS3720-2016.pdf

Also , I found the logs for SAS EVM where the error is mentioned. The Environment manager was working fine until I set up the IWA. I am wondering how even after restoring back to what the configuration was, it is not working.

I checked the link and it has general reference to the normal SAS Web applications. EVM works a bit differently and most of it's config is under <sas-config>/Lev1/Web/SASEnvironmentManager/server-5.8.0-EE/hq-engine/hq-server/.

You will have to make similar changes you did SASServerX_X for EVM as well.

This could get quite complex based on number of steps involved. I would suggest you to raise a SAS Support track to see if they have documented steps on to perform these changes.
