Single Sign-On Configuration and Troubleshooting for SAS® 9.2 Enterprise BI Web Applications
Stuart J Rogers · 2011
Single Sign-On (SSO) means different things for different configurations and applications. The Single Sign-On logic and process for SAS® 9.2 Enterprise BI Web applications are examined based on various enterprise-level Web infrastructure configurations in which SAS Web applications are deployed. With such deployments, troubleshooting configuration and authentication errors is confusing and time-consuming. This paper explains Single Sign-On in terms of initial source of authentication, security arrangement, and trust relationships among the Web components and how SAS Web applications manage and consume externally authenticated user identity. Then this paper explores the troubleshooting strategies available for each of the enterprise-level Web infrastructure configurations. A methodology, along with recommended solutions, is presented for common error messages.
