Stored Processes – bypassing double authentication

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 ‘<FORM ACTION='”&_URL”‘ method='”post”‘ enctype='”multipart/form-data”‘>’;
