SAS Visual Analytics (HTTPS) Install and and Config

[shewzz]

Hi All,

I'm Installing SAS VA(HTTPS) in Linux Rhel OS and I follow  below steps.

1. Pre Installation config
2. Generate CSR and Signed Certificates (Root, Intermediate CA, Signed Certificate and .key file)
3. Install SAS Software
4. Add Certificates to Trusted CA Bundle using sasdm
5. Configuration 

We successfully installed steps 1-4. Our Configuration process stuck and no progress for almost a day in Step 12 : SAS Web Server Configuration. No warning or error message appear so we decided to stop the installation.

For your reference please see logs below for the web server.

Would like to ask if what would be the possible resolution for this. Hope we can get a quick feedback.

Thank you.

@shewzz,

0D0680A8 - this error is due to an invalid certificate format.

• Additional or trailing spaces
• Installing a certificate format other than X.509

Make sure your file has no trailing or leading spaces within the certificate file. Also, make sure that your private key has no passphrase.

Hi @alexal,

Thanks for the response. We will generate new certificate and reconfigure SAS again.

Best,
