I agree. If IWA mechanism is for MC, I'd expect full functionality (incl Validation). But that's what they said. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We did a Teams meeting and turned on debug log for Workspace Server but didn't see any lines about failed/success authentication when Validating while MC with IWA. Note that "browsing" SASApp and SASApp_VA server's folder tree was OK, so this means that the IWA worked with Metadata (logging in to EG) and also for Workspace server (browsing folders from EG). ...

The problem is still glowing underneath and today the same behaviour occured (temporary files at /tmp which is not on a separate partition so the / was filled for a minute or so). I asked the user about the procedure she said she was doing some manipulations with tables (which failed, of course). So to get a solution to the current topic, just as an update. I have turned on the Trace logging for Audit.Data.Dataset and there are lines talking about the problematic /tmp: 2022-10-05 11:09:13 WorkSpaceSRV_VA (199341): Audit.Data.Dataset.Open: TRACE [00000005] 2:sassrv - Libref=WORK Engine=V9 Member=ACCOUNT_NAME MemberType=DATA Openmode=INPUT Path=/tmp/SAS_work3FF400030AAD_sasva2/SAS_work 877E00030AAD_sasva2 2022-10-05 11:09:13 WorkSpaceSRV_VA (199341): Audit.Data.Dataset.Open: TRACE [00000005] 2:sassrv - Libref=WORK Engine=V9 Member=GRANT_NAME MemberType=DATA Openmode=INPUT Path=/tmp/SAS_work3FF400030AAD_sasva2/SAS_work 877E00030AAD_sasva2 2022-10-05 11:09:13 WorkSpaceSRV_VA (199341): Audit.Data.Dataset.Open: TRACE [00000005] 2:sassrv - Libref=WORK Engine=V9 Member=CLIENT_NAME MemberType=DATA Openmode=INPUT Path=/tmp/SAS_work3FF400030AAD_sasva2/SAS_wor k877E00030AAD_sasva2 2022-10-05 11:09:13 WorkSpaceSRV_VA (199341): Audit.Data.Dataset.Open: TRACE [00000005] 2:sassrv - Libref=WORK Engine=V9 Member=LIIK_NAME MemberType=DATA Openmode=INPUT Path=/tmp/SAS_work3FF400030AAD_sasva2/SAS_work8 77E00030AAD_sasva2 There is a Libref=WORK which has the /tmp as a destination. Now the question is how to change it. I already have these lines written to SASApp_VA/sasv9_usermods.cfg -set STPWORK /opt/sas/data/tmp -set TMPDIR /opt/sas/data/tmp -set WORK /opt/sas/data/tmp and ObjectSpawner2 restarted.   Is there any other variable I should add? I can't find the Work Library from Management Console (probably it is so called "system library"). Is it a bad idea to keep these STPWORK, TMPDIR and WORK at the same folder?   Thanks!       ...

That's a good idea. I haven't found an answer to how the variable for Pooled Workspace server temporary files location is called. Some results from Google mention that it might be TMPDIR or WORK. I'll keep searching but a hint would be much appreciated. Thanks! ... View more

The variable STPWORK is already set up <Lev1>/SASApp_VA/sasv9_usermods.cfg file. I know for sure it was set on August and later there has been restarts to the same server's ObjectSpawner. Still, there are some directories on the /tmp folder created even today. The names are like "SAS_util000100011FDC_sasva2" and "SAS_work42DF00011FDC_sasva2". Luckily, as there are previously mentioned directories, lsof shows the process number and it is a child process of ObjectSpawner:   $ lsof | grep /tmp/SAS_work42DF00011FDC_sasva2/ sas 73692 sassrv 21uW REG 253,0 0 16778272 /tmp/SAS_work42DF00011FDC_sasva2/sas.lck $ ps axfu [--8<--] sas 72258 0.0 0.0 113288 1488 ?
