Thread: Is EG able to connect to a Unix SAS server using AD?

I was certain of a). The part on b) isnt very clear on the documentation. But as long as there is one local unix account, shouldnt a) take precedence over b), meaning that you can have 10 users connect to 10 logins on a), but all ten logins ride on the same one unix account for b). I would think that once you create a user under SAS management console, and define the user logins under that account, you'd be able to cater for both a) and b)

I'm not understanding what you are meaning by "a)" and "b)". I believe from previous "conversations" you have a common Unix SAS server. So, minimally, create a Unix account -- let's call it SAS_EG -- with some password. When you create the logical server to connect to the Unix box, for authentication, explicitly provide the userid ("SAS_EG" + the password for "SAS_EG"). In this way...
