ABSTRACT

The security requirements of today require in some use cases the
hardening of a SAS® Installation. This paper describes the practical
steps of securing the SAS web applications and the impact to the
Base SAS® Services on the SAS compute tiers. The SAS Enterprise BI
Server will be the object of this explanation. The principals of a
secure architecture will be described and the options to secure the
individual components presented.

TLS CONFIGURATION

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol that
secures the communication on the application layer. In the proposed
architecture approach TLS/SSL is used to secure the communication with
the reverse proxy. To provide a convenient approach for the users of
the SAS Installation we will use signed certificates. The use of self
signed certificates has the disadvantage of end users having to accept
an exception to use the SAS Services. For a signed certificate a CA
(Certificate Authority) is necessary. The browser needs only the
certificates from the CA and not the explicit ones of the reverse
proxy. For TLS/SSL a certificate signing request (CSR) is a method to
get a signed certificate. This request can be generated with openssl6.
In addition, the signing of the CSR can be done with openssl. In this
case the openssl x509 –req command is used. In this case the access to
CA Key is necessary.

Commands to create a CSR: Request and sign this CSR request
