The following two parameters can be used to specify credentials for the workflow for SharePoint access.

If not specified the executing user will be used to access SharePoint.

This user need to have permissions on all object the workflow need to access, e.g. workflow list, items, data list, config list, ...

However it is possible to store credentials in a protected fashion using the parameter --setusername on kenaflow.exe. This will write the encrypted credentials to these two parameters. - Encryption of credentials uses the kenaflow encryption passphrase configured in global configuration.
