Iam trying to run a Schedule using Webfocus API and iam getting an error called "Authendication failed" if a user who is running is not part of Webfous user group.
How can i over wright this.

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.

See if this post can give you some ideas.
