We were working on a web application recently. The application was to be used on the client’s server and had only one “foreground” agent (accessed through the ?OpenAgent URL). Since we wouldn’t have access to run agents on their server, the agent was set up to run as the current web user. The agent, when this setting is enabled, runs under the authority of the currently logged-on web user (or under “Anonymous” if the user hasn’t authenticated). Or so we thought…

Yes, I know the title of this tip doesn’t mean much. But I couldn’t come up with a meaningful title in just a few words. So let me describe the situation. Let’s say you have a multi-value keyword fields that contains state names. And another multi-value keyword field that contains city names.
