Default Value and Usage Notes |
Authentication Method |
Authentication |
Optional |
Method that Siebel Remote uses to authenticate Mobile Web Clients. The default is None.
- None. Does not validate the synchronization authentication credentials. This is the default.
- Database. Validates the synchronization authentication credentials against the server database user ID and password.
- Siebel. Validates the synchronization authentication credentials against the Mobile Client name and Sync Password that is stored in the server database and is maintained for each Mobile Web Client in the Administration - Siebel Remote > Mobile Clients view under the appropriate parent server.
- AppServer. Validates the synchronization authentication credentials against the user ID and its password on the Siebel Server operating system.
- SecurityAdapter. Validates the synchronization authentication credentials against a third-party authentication system.
|
Domain Name |
NTDomain |
Optional |
If you are using AppServer authentication, this parameter specifies the name of the Windows domain for the user name and password. To use Windows password authentication, you must enable the Windows user rights for the Siebel Server. |
Minimum Number of cached thread contexts |
MinCtxCache |
Optional |
Minimum number of cached thread contexts maintained by a multithreaded server. The default is 2 cached contexts. |
Maximum Number of cached thread contexts |
MaxCtxCache |
Optional |
Maximum number of cached thread contexts maintained by a multithreaded server. The default is 10 cached contexts. |
Maximum Task Number |
MaxTasks |
Optional |
Maximum number of synchronization sessions Synchronization Manager can service simultaneously. Default is 100. |
Static Port Number |
PortNumber |
Optional |
The TCP/IP port number dedicated to the Synchronization Manager. Default value is 40400. Use the Administration - Server Configuration > Servers view to override the default value with a new value, and then restart the component. You can also specify this port number as a command-line option when starting this server component via Server Manager using the command-line interface. |
Siebel File System |
FileSystem |
Optional |
Siebel File System location for the Enterprise. |
Encryption Type |
Crypt |
Optional |
Determines if the traffic of a synchronization session will be encrypted. Values are: RSA, MSCRYPTO, and NONE. |
The multithreaded Synchronization Manager maintains a collection of open database connections (context cache) that can be parceled out to the active task threads and be reused. By default, each server creates two connections during start-up. Additional contexts may be created dynamically, but the server (by default) maintains a maximum of only 10 context caches. You can specify the minimum cache size using the MinCtxCache parameter and the maximum cache size using the MaxCtxCache parameter. A larger cache may be helpful for configurations where multiple Mobile Web Clients synchronize. Note, however, that an excessive number of inactive database connections can degrade system performance. The Synchronization Manager creates the number of cached contexts specified by the MinCtxCache parameter at start-up. A cached context decreases the time to initialize a new synchronization session. Increase the cache size if you have a large number of Mobile Web Clients to synchronize simultaneously. The Synchronization Manager can service up to the MaxTasks number of synchronization sessions simultaneously, but it only keeps at most the MaxCtxCache number of cached contexts in memory.
