Using the Scheduled Task Tool

Hi,

I'm finding it a tab bit confusing to use the sheduled task tool.

The scheduled task manager displays a number of settings for each task, but what confuses me is the username/password option. Does this imply that I simply create a webpage that takes these parameters in the querystring or do I do something else?

Also, do I need any specific permissions in order to run a scheduled task? I ask this because I'd like to password protect the directory in which the webpage that runs the actual task is found.

Thanks for helping,
Roshawn

That is what the username/password option is for in the Scheduled Task Manager. If you password protect your directory and your web application that the Scheduled Task Manager is in that directory you password protected, you input the username/password in that field. It is not meant to be used as a http redirect. Meaning if your web application requires some sort of user name and password within the web application so that it gets redirected to another page to run properly, our Scheduled Task manager will not be able to follow that redirect.
