Create SAS Service Object

The SAS service object facilitates communication between a server and it's server certificates. If you remove a server from an eDirectory tree, you also need to delete the SAS service object associated with that server. Likewise, if you want to put the server back into the tree, you must create the SAS service object to go with that server. If you do not, you will not be able to create new server certificates.

This page allows you to create the SAS service object for a particular server.

Click the browse button and select the server that you want to create the SAS service object for. Then click OK.

The utility will create a new SAS service object only if there is not a properly named SAS service object in the same container as the server object. For example, for a server named WAKE, you will have a SAS service object named "SAS Service - WAKE." The utility will add the DS pointers from the Server object to the SAS object, and from the SAS object to the Server object, as well as set up the correct ACL entries on the SAS service object.

If a SAS service object already exists with the proper name, the utility will not create a new one. The old SAS service object's DS pointers may be wrong or missing, or the ACLs may not be correct. In this case, you can delete the corrupt SAS service object and use the utility to create a new one. If there are server certificates that belong to this server, you will need to link them up to the SAS service object manually by using the Other tab from ConsoleOne.
