Apply SAS Security Update 20YY-MM-M7 Use the following steps to apply the update. These steps should be performed for every machine in your deployment by applying the update on each installed and configured machine. 1. Before beginning, ensure that all active SAS sessions, daemons, spawners, servers, and agents are terminated. In addition, SAS strongly recommends that you back up your system before applying the update. 2. Download the update: https://tshf.sas.com/techsup/download/hotfix/HF2/SAS_Security_Updates.html 3. Unzip sas-security-update-20YY-MM-M7.zip into a directory of your choice. On UNIX, using the unzip command is the best option. chmod a+x install.sh If the installer ID differs from the update directory owner, make the directory writable by all IDs in the same group with the following command: chmod -R g+w /security directory/sas-security-update-20YY-MM-M7 4. From the directory into which you unzipped, go to the sas-security-update-20YY-MM-M7 directory. 5. In that directory, run the appropriate script using the same user ID that was used to install (installer ID). The script requires one argument— the full path to the SAS Home directory where the update is going to be applied. cd /opt/depot/SECUPDATE/sas-security-update-* (20YY-MM-M7) ./install.sh "/opt/sasinside/sashome" 6. The script applies the update to all files in the /opt/sasinside/sashome and SAS Configuration directories that need to be updated. When the script finishes, a message states that the update is complete and the script exits. 7. If you plan to deploy other hot fixes or updates from the location where you placed this ZIP file, you need to remove it from this location. The SAS Deployment Manager, which is used for deploying other hot fixes, does not recognize this file and will issue an error.
