Whitelist confusion

Hi,

I am a little confused about the role of the whitelist when using the API. I have written some code to do a scheduled database backup using the scheduling service. This works correctly when running on my desktop (having added my computer's IP address to the whitelist) however it always throws and 'Access Denied' exception when running under the scheduler.

Do I need to add the IP address for the scheduler servers to my whitelist? If so, how do I get this information?

Thanks
Jeff

 

It works when I run it on my desktop, it doesn't work when it runs as a scheduled task using the Scheduled Task Manager - in that case it throws an API Access Denied exception:

Server was unable to process request. ---> Access denied.

Do I need to add the IP address of the machine on which the scheduled task runs to the whitelist for this to work? If so, how do I get this IP address?

Thanks
Jeff

 

But the server is a DiscountASP server - I am using the scheduling system in the Discount ASP Control Panel? How do I know what server it is running on and how do I log on interactively to tha box?

My backup job is not being kicked off from one of my boxes, it is kicked off on a DiscountASP box.
