Is there a way to hard-code _username and _password macro variables in a stored process to be passed as login credentials when executed from SAS Stored Process Web?

 

For testing purposes I'm trying to execute my stored process from a link like this, and to have the hard-coded credentials in the program do the authentication:

http://server-name.com:8080/SASStoredProcess/do?_program=/path/to/program

 

I've spent a lot of time researching and I've seen how input parameters can be specified in the URL, so I'm not looking for that. I am wondering if the program code itself can do the authentication.

Hi,

 

This is not possible. Your client browser must make a POST request with the user/pass to the /SASLogon app in order to retrieve a session ID to make the SASStoredProcess web app happy to talk to it. The SPWA doesn't / can't deal with auth stuff directly.

 

If this is a requirement you should seriously consider Configuring anonymous access for the SAS® Stored Process Web Application, and then limiting the STPs the anonymous users are able to execute by restricting the webanon@saspw metadata user.
