launching SAS Management Console from a mac over SSH with X11

Question

I have a remote instance of SAS Management Console in the following location:

/pub/sas/SASManagementConsole/9.4/sasmc_console

I'd like to be able to launch this as a GUI interface. I've tried the following (in XQuartz):

export DISPLAY=:0
ssh -x myuser@app.myserver.com
cd /pub/sas/SASManagementConsole/9.4
./sasmc_console

This returns:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 
window server using ':0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

What should be the value of my display variable?

Answer 1

doh.. So it appears I should have used an uppercase X as follows:

ssh -X myuser@app.myserver.com

But there were other things I had to update before the window worked properly. First, in the following file:

/private/etc/ssh_config

I changed the following values:

#   ForwardX11 no
#   ForwardX11Trusted no

to:

#   ForwardX11 yes
#   ForwardX11Trusted yes

I also ran:

rm /tmp/.X11-unix/X0

And restarted the machine...
