Depending on the security needs of your organization, the following settings in the Data Server tab of the ReportCaster Server Configuration tool (see ReportCaster Server Configuration) may be used to affect owner and Execution credentials. These settings may be different for each WebFOCUS Reporting Server:

Run Id. Possible values are USER or STATIC. This setting applies only to Execution credentials.

• If Run Id is set to USER, valid Execution credentials must be specified for the WebFOCUS Reporting Server when creating a schedule.
• If Run Id is set to STATIC, valid Execution credentials must be supplied in the SRV User setting of the ReportCaster Server Configuration tool. The SRV User setting is used as the Execution credentials for all schedules running on the server.

Shared. Possible values are YES or NO (the default).

• If Shared is set to YES: When creating a schedule, the Execution and ReportCaster owner credentials must be the same. This only applies when Run Id is set to USER.
• If Shared is set to NO: When creating a schedule, the Execution and ReportCaster owner credentials are independent sets of credentials.

Trusted. Possible values are YES, NO, or PASSTHROUGH.

• If Trusted is set to YES: The Execution ID is the value set in REMOTE_USER at schedule time, and no password is required to connect to the WebFOCUS Reporting Server. Trusted security is not supported when the WebFOCUS Reporting Server resides on a Windows platform.

• If Trusted is set to NO: Valid Execution credentials are required to connect to the WebFOCUS Reporting Server.
• If Trusted is set to PASSTHROUGH: The owner ID of the schedule is used as the Execution ID, and no password is required to connect to the WebFOCUS Reporting Server. When Trusted is set to PASSTHROUGH, Shared must also be set to YES. PASSTHROUGH is not supported when the WebFOCUS Reporting Server resides on a Windows platform.

Note: If you change the Run Id setting to USER after a schedule was created with a STATIC Execution ID, the schedule will not run because it will not find Execution credentials in the ReportCaster Repository. The solution is to add the Execution ID and password using the ReportCaster Console (for details, see Creating, Updating, and Deleting an Execution ID). However, you should avoid switching the Run Id.
