Re: Make IWS use a specific profile

When you deploy a web service, you have the ability to indicate the user
profile the web service should run under.

You can change the user profile for deployed web services by going to the
Security tab after clicking on the Properties button for a web service.

Note that any user profile you specify must give *USE access to the web
services SERVER user profile.

If you still cannot get this to work, assuming you are on latest HTTP
group, open a PMR/ticket.

Folks:

I have an IWS server hosting a REST web service. Work Active Job shows

the

web jobs running under a user profile created for that purpose. WEBSVR.
WEBSVR has authority to all the appropriate stuff but nothing else.

When the Web service is called, the user profile that is actually used

is

QUSER not WEBSVR. We found this out after banging our heads against

rocks

all morning trying to figure out why we could run the program manually

and

all was well (our profile) , and the web service always failed (with
QUSER). Now we know.

How do I make IWS use the profile we gave it for incoming transactions?
