The installation was successful, when it comes to the configuration step, the connection to the metadata server keeps failing using the <A href="mailto:sasadm@saspw" target="_blank">sasadm@saspw</A>&nbsp;user. sasauth.conf is set use PAM Authenticaion, I've also added the openssl lib to the path. I've already opened a case for this, but it is moving really slow. If any of you faced this issue or have some ideas, I would really appreciate it.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>2024-02-28T14:36:39,045 INFO [00000032] 2:sas - Client connection 2 for user sasadm@saspw closed.<BR />2024-02-28T14:36:39,045 DEBUG [00000032] 2:sas - SecurityTokenDestroy: calling bkTokenDestroy(a0acd080)<BR />2024-02-28T14:37:55,153 TRACE [00000035] :sas - SecurityThreadSetIdentity [ENTER]: 7fe256f30c00 provider:1<BR />2024-02-28T14:37:55,153 TRACE [00000035] :sas - Create Authenticated Token<BR />2024-02-28T14:37:55,153 TRACE [00000035] :sas - Client connection id: 4<BR />2024-02-28T14:37:55,153 DEBUG [00000035] :sas - User/Pass authentication for user sasadm@saspw<BR />2024-02-28T14:37:55,153 TRACE [00000035] :sas - User: sasadm, domain: saspw<BR />2024-02-28T14:37:55,153 TRACE [00000035] :sas - Domain match found<BR />2024-02-28T14:37:55,153 TRACE [00000035] :sas - Calling auth provider(3)...<BR />2024-02-28T14:37:55,153 TRACE [00000035] :sas - Internal account provider called for user sasadm<BR />2024-02-28T14:37:55,153 TRACE [00000035] :sas - Provider domain: saspw<BR />2024-02-28T14:37:55,153 TRACE [00000035] :sas - Validating incoming internal user: sasadm<BR />2024-02-28T14:37:55,153 TRACE [00000035] :sas - IOM CALL {compRef:7fe29404d4c0}-&gt;OMI::InternalAuthentication():<BR />2024-02-28T14:37:55,153 TRACE [00000035] :sas - PUBLIC Credential obtained for &lt;ANONYMOUS&gt;.

The SAS install account is a good choice.</P> Thu, 29 Feb 2024 03:15:27 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/9-4-M7-to-9-4-M8-UIP-failing-at-configuration-step/m-p/918362#M28072 SASKiwi 2024-02-29T03:15:27Z Re: 9.4 M7 to 9.4 M8 UIP - failing at configuration step https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/9-4-M7-to-9-4-M8-UIP-failing-at-configuration-step/m-p/918363#M28073 <P>Thanks for your reply. So, I am using <A href="mailto:sasadm@saspw" target="_blank">sasadm@saspw</A>&nbsp;which is an internal account. I tried your suggestion and used sas user which is the OS account, it still gives the same error "Unable to connect to a SAS Metadata Server with the specified connection information"</P> Thu, 29 Feb 2024 03:37:56 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/9-4-M7-to-9-4-M8-UIP-failing-at-configuration-step/m-p/918363#M28073 Sainathns 2024-02-29T03:37:56Z Re: 9.4 M7 to 9.4 M8 UIP - failing at configuration step https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/9-4-M7-to-9-4-M8-UIP-failing-at-configuration-step/m-p/918467#M28075 <P>In that case I suggest you open a Tech Support track for your problem.
