Hello community,   i try to send an email from a Microsoft Office 365 account from a SAS programm via SMTP over an SMTP relay.   Setup: i followed the documentation for "Option 3" (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/Exchange/mail-flow-best-practices/how-to-set-up-a-multifunction-device-or-application-to-send-email-using-microsoft-365-or-office-365#option-3-configure-a-connector-to-send-mail-using-microsoft-365-or-office-365-smtp-relay ). The other options will not work for us.   All technical aspects of the connection are fullfilled. I can successfully send an email from the SAS server over the gateway via powershell.     If i try to send the email from SAS code with the same settings i get an error: ERROR: Login failure ERROR: Email: 504 5.7.4 Unrecognized authentication type [BE0DEU01FT015.eop-deu01.prod.protection.outlook.com]   This is the code i use: options emailhost=("xxx.mail.protection.outlook.com" AUTH=LOGIN STARTTLS PORT=25 PWD="xxx" USERID="xxx@mydomain.com" ); Filename EmailOut Email From = "xxx@mydomain.com" To = "me@someotherdomain.com" Subject = "test from SAS" debug ; Data _NULL_; File EmailOut; Put "test"; Run; This is the full SMTP communication: R: 220 FR2DEU01FT017.mail.protection.outlook.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service ready at Fri, 16 Oct 2020 08:52:03 +0000 S: EHLO test.mydomain.com R: 250-FR2DEU01FT017.mail.protection.outlook.com Hello [13.80.23.30] R: 250-SIZE 157286400 R: 250-PIPELINING R: 250-DSN R: 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES R: 250-STARTTLS R: 250-8BITMIME R: 250-BINARYMIME R: 250-CHUNKING R: 250 SMTPUTF8 S: STARTTLS R: 220 2.0.0 SMTP server ready S: EHLO test.mydomain.com R: 250-FR2DEU01FT017.mail.protection.outlook.com Hello [13.80.23.30] R: 250-SIZE 157286400 R: 250-PIPELINING R: 250-DSN R: 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES R: 250-8BITMIME R: 250-BINARYMIME R: 250-CHUNKING R: 250 SMTPUTF8 S: AUTH LOGIN R: 504 5.7.4 Unrecognized authentication type [FR2DEU01FT017.eop-deu01.prod.protection.outlook.com] ERROR: Login failure ERROR: Email: 504 5.7.4 Unrecognized authentication type [FR2DEU01FT017.eop-deu01.prod.protection.outlook.com]   For me it looks like SAS does not correctly implement the SMTP protocol and cannot process the response from the MS Outlook server. I also tried different SAS emailhost options including the use of SSL instead of STARTTLS. Nothing worked.   Has anybody successfully used the Office 365 SMTP gateway or an idea how i can fix the problem?   Thank you in advance! Andreas ... View more

Dear Community,   in our project we are using Visual Analytics 7.5 with Geomaps and custom polygons.   We followed the instructions at https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=vaag&docsetTarget=n09tvhnyrosr8mn1nmw7u3akrb1e.htm&docsetVersion=7.5&locale=en#p1r65oyfuahbb2n1v1sijv89ujp8https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=vaag&docsetTarget=n09tvhnyrosr8mn1nmw7u3akrb1e.htm&docsetVersion=7.5&locale=en   However there is one sentence in the documentation which puzzles us. If your SAS Visual Analytics deployment uses multiple server contexts, then add the LIBNAME statement to the file for each server context.   We use multiple server contexts. We do not use the SASApp server context at all. So we defined the MAPSCSTM library in all server contexts, but SASApp. With the effect that the custom map polygons do not work unless we add the library to the SASApp server context. It seems like all SAS VA reports retrieve their custom polygon data from the SASApp context (even if all VA data is located in LASR libraries of other server contexts).   So the question is: how is it determined which server context is used to provide the custom polygon data? Where can we configure SAS VA to use our custom server context and not use SASApp?   Best Regards Andreas ... View more
