Syntax Description

LOGIN

specifies that the LOGIN authentication protocol is used. For more information about the order of authentication, see Sending E-Mail through SMTP in SAS Language Reference: Concepts.

Note: When you specify LOGIN, you might also need to specify EMAILID and EMAILPW. If you omit EMAILID, SAS will look up your user ID and use it. If you omit EMAILPW, no password is used. [cautionend]

NONE

specifies that no authentication protocol is used.

Comparisons

For the SMTP access method, use this option in conjunction with the EMAILID=, EMAILPW=, EMAILPORT, and EMAILHOST system options. EMAILID= provides the user name, EMAILPW= provides the password, EMAILPORT specifies the port to which the SMTP server is attached, EMAILHOST specifies the SMTP server that supports e-mail access for your site, and EMAILAUTHPROTOCOL= provides the protocol.
