Editing the Siebel Application CFG File for Siebel Collaboration  

The following procedure describes how to enable Siebel Collaboration by editing the CFG file for your Siebel application.

For general information about editing CFG files, see the Siebel System Administration Guide.

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up Siebel Collaboration.

To edit the CFG file for your application

1. Open the CFG file for the application and to edit the Siebel application CGG file, add the section:

   [Collaboration]
   CollaborationEnabled = TRUE
   SecurityToken = l5t42j6d9w73
   VerifyCollaborationUser = TRUE
   UserAuthentication = CHANGE_ME (ADSI/SSO)
   DomainName = CHANGE_ME
   SSOSystem = "Team Space Collaboration"

2. Edit the [Collaboration] section, using the following table as an example:

   Parameter	Value	Notes
   CollaborationEnabled	TRUE	Set to TRUE to enable Siebel Collaboration for the Siebel application.
   SecurityToken	SecurityToken For example: l5t42j6d9w73	This security token must be the same as the security token set in the config.xml file. (See Configuring the Collaboration Service.) The security token is used by the Siebel Web Service running on the SharePoint server to verify the request is from a Siebel application. Choose a value that: Is less than 65 characters Contains only Unicode characters that are recognized by common text editors Is sufficiently unique that a malicious user cannot guess it
   VerifyCollaborationUser	TRUE FALSE	If set to TRUE, the Siebel application checks that the user of the client machine is the same as the user logged into the Siebel application. If set to FALSE, no check is performed. For example, if multiple Siebel users share one Windows user, set this parameter to FALSE.
   UserAuthentication	ADSI SSO	Set the value corresponding to the user authentication method used for your Siebel application: ADSI or SSO. (See Table 3.)
   DomainName	domain_name	Set the value to the domain of the Windows user. This value is case sensitive. NOTE:  If user credentials are not prefixed with the domain name, then this domain is used.
   SSOSystem	"Team Space Collaboration"	You only need to set this parameter if UserAuthentication=SSO. This value specifies the SSO record that contains the mapping between the Siebel and Windows users.

3. If, in Step 2, you set UserAuthentication to ADSI, you must navigate to Administration - Server Configuration > Profile Configuration View in the Siebel application.
4. Select the record for the ADSI Security Adapter (alias ADSISecAdpt).
5. Ensure that the UsernameAttributeType and UseAdapterUsername parameters are set as described in Siebel Security Guide.
