Stored Processes - bypassing double authentication

2
By

As I mentioned yesterday, some users create portal applications to bypass a second authentication step from the Portal to a Stored Process (via a URL Display Portlet). New in SAS 9.2, there is a STPRun directive that allows you to just complete one single step (create a URL display portlet) that points directly to the stored process and with the addition of this directive, no longer request a second authentication step.

&_directive=STPRun - jumps directly to the stored process
&_directive=STPRunParameters - forwards you to the stored process parameter selection screen

If you are creating a custom web application within your stored process, there is no need for target= in your form code. Just use the standard:
put '

    Hello Angela,
    I have created one web application using stored process. I am using Information delivery portal with stored process portlet to display it.
    Now I am facing problem of multiple login.
    So,Is the solution of STPRun useful in this case? or I have to follow any other procedure?
    Please reply,
    Thanks,
    Kushal Ramani

      Are you chaining stored processes? Does the first, using the stored process portlet, appear correctly and then subsequent links (within that stored process result) request additional user/password authentication? You should use the STPrun directive for all of your stored process URLS (within the code and from the portal).
