Signing on through SAS/CONNECT to a secured SAS Job Spawner, may cause
the following error:

ERROR:  Cannot read TCP socket.  System message is
        '10054 - WSAECONNRESET'.

The errors that are generated in the spawner.dat file are as follows:

ERROR:  API            = CreateEnvironmentBlock
        error code     = 0.
        message        = The operation completed successfully.

Microsoft has acknowledged this to be their problem.  The Microsoft
problem number is:  SRX990715601428.

Microsoft has suggested the following fix for this problem:

Run REGEDT32 and go to the following parameter:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    \SYSTEM
      \CurrentControlSet
        \Control
          \Session Manager
            \Environment

You should then look for a string key that has an empty string value.
You will have to either delete this key or give it a '0' value.

If an empty string value is not present, look for a value that begins
with <No Name>.  If this is present, delete this entry.


NOTE:  SAS accepts no responsibility for any changes that are made
during this process.  If you feel uncomfortable making this change in
the registry, please contact Microsoft.

Another work-around is to SIGNON via CONNECT to a non-secured SAS Job
Spawner.
