Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is essential for secure enterprise applications, and SAS®9 customers increasingly request it for their web-based SAS applications. This session introduces MFA features in the
next SAS 9.4 maintenance release, including a unified MFA solution via SAS Logon Manager and Central Authentication Service (CAS). CAS-simple enables quick, configuration-free setup, while Google Authenticator offers industry-standard support. The solution supports diverse SAS®9 products, applications and client types – browser, command-line, standalone and batch – with flexible MFA bypass policies. Comprehensive configuration guidance ensures seamless adoption across single-server, multiserver, and mid-tier cluster deployments.
