Added _username and _password to STP URL, but is still getting prompted for login

[LarsEB]

I have created a stored proces that checks if the SAS Metadataserver is running. Basically I want a systemuser to call the stp without beeing prompted for login. 

I have added _username & _password to the URL as described in

http://support.sas.com/kb/14/545.html

so my URL is looking like this

http://servername:8080/SASStoredProcess/do?_program=%2FProducts%2FSAS+Intelligence+Platform%2FSamples%2Fservice&_username=User1234&_password={SAS001}Bsahyrfashyefgig

But I still get prompted for logon. What am I doing wrong? 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello Lars, 

I can see you used an encryopted password. 

Sometimes SAS platforms configured so that they don't accept the encrypted passwords by default. 

If you are an admin, do the following: 

On the SAS Management Console Plug-ins tab, click Application Management. Select SAS Stored Process Web Application and edit the advanced properties.

You should see "AllowEncodedPassword" = "true". If you don't see anything or see it being false, then that's the problem. 

If you are not the admin, see if you can authenticate with plain text password. If you can, then get your admin to do the steps above. 

Let me know here how it goes.
