Authentication Failure setting up server details
I've been using Sab and Newsdemon in tandem up until about a week ago. The issue is when I try to put into sab, the newsdemon username and password. I have tried with 2 different newsdemon accounts, both of which log in fine on the newsdemon site directly. I even tried with a usenet server account. I still get " Authentication failed, check username/password." on all 3 accounts despite being different news servers and all 3 log in fine on their own. I have tried with and without ssl, and I am positive in both news servers I'm typing/copying in the server name correctly. In the case of newsdemon, I have actually tried 3 different acceptable host names, same issue on every one. The test server fails every time. I'm using Sab v 4.0.3 windows 10.
Re: Authentication Failure setting up server details
Some news providers have a different account for their website and their newsserver. For example, newsgroupdirect has that. So maybe newsdemon too?both of which log in fine on the newsdemon site directly.
If not, contact Newsdemon for help

Re: Authentication Failure setting up server details
If just one account was failing I could see that, but it's 2 different newsdemon accounts as well as an account from usenet server.
