Hi Kurt, I think NIS has no particular role in this. We have NIS authentication and as long as metadata identities map to host accounts and hosts use NIS to authenticate SAS doesn't care what the mechanics are. AFAIK SAS metadata can't even authenticate against NIS. It only knows host, AD and LDAP authentication schemes. If SAS Studio is the only SAS client you are using then make sure the metadata identities are mapped to real host accounts properly. If other SAS clients work (EG, DIS, ...) and only SAS Studio is not working then again NIS has nothing to do with it. The fault is in SAS Studio or metadata. Hope this helps, Pekk.
