Active Directory authentication in SAS EBI/SAS VA

[merrittr]

Why is it so hard rto find sas documentation on how to integrate Microsoft AD USERS and GROUPS into SAS EBI or SAS ViYA I am sure we should be able to authenticates and add permissions using AD users and groups

Hi,

If you can provide a bit more info about your environment, like host opsys, SAS versions etc, then we can provide more targeted links.

For SAS 9 authentication I would start here: SAS 9.4 Intelligence Platform Security Administration Guide, How to Facilitate Authentication and for SAS Viya 2024.01 I would start here: SAS Viya Platform Authentication and Authorization

If you search for SAS authentication you will also find a bunch of SAS blog posts on the topic such as https://blogs.sas.com/content/?s=authentication. I would recommend reading posts by Stuart Rogers https://blogs.sas.com/content/author/stuartrogers/

I have also written a few SAS and AD related posts on my blog too: https://platformadmin.com/blogs/paul/tag/active-directory/

I hope these provide a good starting point. Let us know if there is anything more specific you are looking for.

Cheers
Paul
