Tab: SCHEDULE
Please refer to the topic about the scheduling type and details steps of the Add new scheduled task chapter for details about the available options and the settings each of them requires.
Tab: SECURITY
User
RayPack allows to run scheduled tasks either via Windows Authentication, or as a specific user.
The default setting is Windows Authentication, indicated by the active checkbox Use Windows Authentication. To enable the usage of individual user credentials, the checkbox needs to be deselected. Once it is inactive, the controls for user object management become active for user selection.
Individual user credentials have to be given in the form of a user object. To select or create a user object, click on the browse button [...] at the right-hand side of the user input field. The Select User dialog is displayed. Please refer to the Common dialogs section for further details on how to manage user data objects.
|
Be aware: User objects may very likely be used at several places within SQL database, script, and IIS management structures. When the same user item is referred to from different locations, changing the properties of that user item actually takes effect for all related objects. Please double-check the correctness of user profile changes, and make sure all related objects are still valid and operational with the modified set of properties. |
