Grid-launching Workspace Servers fail on Windows Servers with the "Grid options for this peer were unable to be obtained from the metadata" error


After you configure Integrated Windows Authentication/Kerberos Authentication to launch Workspace Servers in a SAS® Grid Manager environment with SAS Workload Orchestrator on Windows, the Workspace Server fails to launch with the following error:

Grid options for this peer were unable to be obtained from the metadata. Therefore this server cannot be launched.

If you set the App.tk.tkegrid logger on the SAS Object Spawner to DEBUG or TRACE, the following message is returned prior to the error with this specific status:

utilGetRestApiCreds: security token XXXXXXXX renewal returned status=0x803fc004.

restApi: utilGetRestApiCreds failed, status = 0x803fc004
