I am try to do something similar. I am trying to issue DSTRUN from the Reporting Server. The DSTRUN does not get an error, but when I check the trace file I am getting the following:
"You are not authorized to view this page

You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied because your Web browser is sending a WWW-Authenticate header field that the Web server is not configured to accept."

I've opened a problem report with IBI, so far, everything we've tried results in the same error.

This link seems to have some answers, I just don't have access to the web server to try them.

Hi

We are using the same API in order to schedule jobs from our java application.
We are using the admin user but you can also use another user who has less rigths.
you need to send the user and the password in your URL.
If the authentication failed either the user and password is wrong or the communication between your application and the reportcaster is not working.
I would try to do a sync of MRE users. That is a manu on the server.

Majid.

My problem is that DSTRUN has parameters for the Webserver user id and password. Those are coming from the Reporting Server and the user id and password have not been authenticated by the network and the web server is refusing to authenticate. So far, we've been unable to figure out why. The web server admin can log to the server and she can remotely logon to the server, but the DSTRUN can't and the sample API application at:

http://servername/rcaster/samples/rbalogon.htm

can't either.

I was finally able to get my Tech Rep on site and with my Web Server Admin, figured out that in our environment (Linux Reporting Server and W2K3 webserver using IWA) we had to check an additional item on the IIS security setup. We had to check something that that allowed signon with "clear text". Since the http user/password is coming from Linux, it has not been authenticated on the network. As it is being passed as a parameter in DSTRUN, it is coming over in clear text. Now the error message and solution make sense.
