Viya Token Generator
TL;DR
Run the code below in SASStudioV, and open the link from the log in a browser, eg: YOURSERVER/SASJobExecution?_program=/Public/app/viyatoken/clickme
filename vt url "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sasjs/viyatoken/master/runme.sas";
%inc vt;
If you don't have internet access from your SAS Compute instance, just copy paste the code directly into SASStudioV from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sasjs/viyatoken/master/runme.sas.
NOTE - this will only work if your JobExecution service is running under an admin identity that can access the CONSUL token (ie, yours). If you have a pooled session, and this app works, then you have a security problem as your shared account has too much system access.
What is this?
As SAS Application Developers, we are frequently needing to generate client tokens. We also need an easy way for our customers to do the same.
So we built a SASjs app for it.
By default the app will be created in a /Public/app/viyatoken directory, if you'd like to change this, then modify the appLoc variable in the generated viyadeploy.sas program to a preferred location.
Prerequisites
- NPM
- SASjs
Once you have installed NPM, run npm i -g @sasjs/cli to get the CLI tool
Build Process
Clone the repo and cd into it (or, just click the gitpod link above). Then run sasjs cb viya. This will compile the assets from the src folder and build a deployment program under sasjsbuild. Run this program in SAS (must be StudioV in Viya) to create the services. The link will be at the bottom of the log.
