Remote User Authentication

Remote User Authentication
Before starting a job, the scheduler authenticates the user who created the job. Since user credentials from a
remote authentication are not retained long enough to support a scheduled job, you need to locally configure
the authentication passwords for users who create jobs. These passwords are part of the scheduler configuration
and are not considered a locally configured user.
Before starting the job, the scheduler validates the local password against the password from the remote
authentication server.

Logs

The scheduler maintains a log file containing the job output. If the size of the job output is greater than the
size of the log file, the output is truncated.

High Availability

Scheduled jobs remain available after a supervisor switchover or a software reload.
