Hi,
I need to access files from a network shared folder using an Ad hoc data source. I tried by mapping a drive and using the UNC path, but the account (NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM) used by the process running the GQI has no network identity and therefore cannot open the target directory.
What is the proper way to share these files with DataMiner's processes? Unfortunately, the files are frequently changed, so manually copying them to a local folder is not an option.
Hi Gelber,
I encounter a similar use case in the past. In that scenario, I had to impersonate a user in the ad-hod data source to allow access to the remote files.
The main drawback is that the required credentials must be stored locally. As a workaround, the encrypted credentials can be stored locally so it can be used by the ad-hoc data source.
Ideally, this should be handled through the Credential Library. In that way, credentials can be securely managed and reused across components.
Hope it helps.
