What type of file is " _authinfo" in the saspy configuration process and what are its contents? It doesn't have an extension, so in which application should the file be created?

_authinfo (on a Windows machine) would usually go into:

 

 %userprofile%\_authinfo

You can save the file in Notepad or another app by naming the file with quotes around it, leaving off the extension. This will override the default ".txt" extension that Notepad might want to add.

 

The content should be:

 

configname user your-user-id password your-password

Where "configname" is the configuration name you will use in the SASPy setup.
