Not able to login to SAS EG for OS Users

[aneeshv]

Not able to login to SAS EG for OS users ( eg: sasdemo , sas etc).  (  For AD users authentication is working fine)

For OS users i am getting the Error:

An unexpected Error has occured on SAS Metadata

You are not defied as a user in metadata and connecting as PUBLIC.

Check in SAS Management Console User Manager that there are metadata definitions for sasdemo and any other user names with the same error.

Never, ever use the SAS install user to log in to a workspace server or similar. The SAS install user has total write access to the whole SAS installation, so there is a reason it does not have a metadata identity (which prevents use of workspace servers etc).

Hello @aneeshv,

can I guess you have a SAS server deployed on a Unix-like server? And if so, the connection to LDAP/AD, how is it being done? PAM or just the Metadata server authenticating against an LDAP tree?

Anyway: try using a loging as : sasuser + "@host". For sasdemo it would be: sasdemo@host.

Is SAS services configured with Linux?

[thesasuser]

In order to authenticate users must have an identity in the SAS metadata server.

Hello @aneeshv,

To help other SAS users, if any of those did, please mark it as Solution, and if you found the solution in some other way, please share it with us! 🙂

Thank you in advance,

Hello,

Generally this error will be displayed if the User is not created in User Manager(Management Console) and you are trying login to Enterprise Guide using that User Identity.

If User is not added in Management Console, you can add the User first and then try to login EG with that identity.

Hope it will solve your issue.

Thanks,

Sangramjit

Any entity that is not defined in Metadata when trying to connect is treated as PUBLIC and by default PUBLIC Access is denied to Metadata. Could you manually add the user identity of the host to Metadata and try?

Thanks,
Anand!
