Configuring Views for Explicit Login


You can specify that users must type in their password and user name to access a view, if they have not already done so.

Users can log in to Siebel Web Engine applications using a cookie (after having selected Save My Username and Password), or by explicitly typing their username and password at the login page. If they have logged in using a cookie, you may still want them to supply their username and password to access a sensitive part of the Web site.

To specify that you want a view to require a login

  1. Navigate to the View you want for which you want to require login credentials.
  2. In the Object List Editor, set the Explicit Login property of the View to TRUE.

    When a user logs in using a cookie, and they attempt to access the view, they will be prompted to type their username and password. Users will only be required to do this once per session. After supplying their username and password, all subsequent visits to the explicit login view will not require login.
