Nginx in front of Viya - Issues with SASStudioV

dramage — Fri, 02 Apr 2021 17:23:44 GMT

Good morning,

I have a SAS Viya 3.5 multimachine install that I have placed a NginX proxy in front of. So far all of the applications that I have tried work (Visual Analytics, SAS Drive, etc) except for SAS StudioV and regular SAS Studio.

I have followed the instructions here: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/How-to-Configure-a-Reverse-Proxy-in-Front-of-SAS-Viya-Web/ta-p/570719. I was not able to perform the consul changes because when I try to use the kv tool I get this error:

err="Put \"http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/kv/config/viya/sas.httpproxy.external.hostname?cas=0\": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8500: connect: connection refused"

Regarding the errors I get from the applications - here is what i get from SAS Studio V:

There was an error while starting SAS® Studio
Unable to create compute server session.
Failed to launch process.
Failed to launch process: host=viyaappserver.mydomain.org port=34536 ssl=true
Server error: status=0x80BFD100 messages=[ERROR: Access denied.]

From plain SAS Studio I get:

The application could not log on to the server "localhost:8591". The user ID "myuser" or the password is incorrect.

One thing to keep in mind is that the public facing server and the Viya machines are in different domains. A sanitized version of my nginx server definitions is included below. Thanks in advance for your help.

server {
listen 80;
server_name publicserver.publicdomain.com;
return 301 https://publicserver.publicdomain.com;
}
server {
server_name publicserver.publicdomain.com;
gzip off;
listen 443 default ssl;
