Test your connection to the SAS Virtual Lab

SAS' virtual lab allows you to access the software used in class through your Web browser. With the virtual lab, you don't need SAS software on your local machine to complete the course exercises.

When you connect to the virtual lab, you are connecting to a hardware and software environment over the Internet. As such, the virtual lab is subject to Internet-related issues, including bandwidth and firewall issues.

  1. Test your ability to connect to the virtual lab through your organization's firewall. Be sure to run this test from the room and computer that you intend to use for the training event. When running this test, be sure to complete all of the instructions as noted, including:
    1. Fill in the following:
      User name: Testsas
      Password : Virtuallab1
    2. Select the Log In button
    3. Select the application labeled Custom Virtual Lab Test
    4. Select Yes or Grant to any security dialog boxes that may appear. There may be 5 or 6 dialog boxes. You must respond "Yes" or "Grant" to all of them or this test will fail.
    5. If you are able to connect, you will see the message: "You have successfully entered the SAS Virtual Lab!"
  2. If you do not see the message above, please contact SAS Live Web support at 919-531-9338. It is still quite likely that you will be able to access the virtual lab with assistance from a Live Web technician.
