E-mail configuration for the SAS BI Server clients, such as SAS^® Web Report Studio, only requires you to specify an e-mail host and port. However, if authentication is required on the SMTP server, then these two options are not sufficient.

In order to turn on authentication, you must set EMAILAUTHPROTOCOL to LOGIN (the default is NONE). To make this change, complete the following steps:

1. Navigate to the root location of your application server. For example, sas-config-dir\Lev1\SASApp.
   
   
2. Open the sasv9_usermods.cfg in a text editor.
   
   
3. Add EMAILAUTHPROTOCOL=LOGIN
   
   
4. Add EMAILID="valid-email-id"
   
   
5. Add EMAILPW="valid-email-password"
   
   
6. Save the modified sasv9_usermods.cfg file.
   
   
7. Restart the SAS Object Spawner
