Updating the Scheduler Profile

Similar to saving a RED Profile to disk to persist between sessions for a User, the RED Scheduler also requires persistent storage of the Profile which can be shared securely across Jobs. The RED Scheduler Profile values are stored in a table using secure encryption methods. See the Scheduler Profile Maintenance section for more details.

Using OAuth or similar authentication methods

...

For short lived or expiring tokens a Scripted Authentication approach may be required. This is achieved by setting an Auth Script Command on your connection which could execute an authentication workflow script to retrieve access tokens or other authentication values and update the RED Profile file making them available to the RED UI and Scripts. If you use expiring tokens with the scheduler, you would need to create and schedule a script to refresh your tokens and update your scheduler profile records, see the Scheduler Configuration section for more details.

For some authentication methods you may need to use a script (or web browser) to login to a data source and generate an access token to use in your connection string. The access token could then be added in the RED Profile file or Scheduler Profile table as the password or one of the Auth Token fields for a connection. If you use expiring tokens with a scheduler then you will need to create a script to refresh your tokens and update your scheduler profile records, see the Scheduler Configuration section for more details.
