Hi Ted,
Thanks for the reply.
If there's one thing that grinds my gears as much as the lack of heirarchy aware DBRW formulas, it's that I was sold IBM Cloud on the basis that it was all round better than On Prem. When it comes to this sort of thing (REST API, VBA, third-party connections) this just isn't true and is a huge PITA.
I want to be able to automate a workbook, pure and simple, something I've been doing for many years in On Prem - if it needs to be credentialess, then I can work with that as long as you let me know what I need to do. It's a vanilla federated cloud install, so there's shouldn't be any surprises for you on the Cloud side (or indeed on the PAFE side).
Regards
Paul

There's still more for us to do to enable the full range of potential auth configurations with regards to automation workloads, but if you auth flow is credential-less (ie: integrated or passwordless etc) there is some opportunity in the product these days.
Please reach out if so.

I'm ressurecting this because I'd like to know the answer as well! Did you get anywhere with this in the end Andrew?

The PAX API documentation here notes that he LogOn function cannot be used for cloud-based instance of PA. Is that still valid or does anyone know of an alternative method to automatically connect to cloud instance using LDAP non-interactive user to refresh workbooks?
