Overriding Windows Registry Parameters That Locate the Siebel Server

To override the following registry settings, you can use certain values in the connector_configuration.xml file:

• Siebel:ComponentName
• Siebel:RequestSuffix

To locate the Siebel Server the Siebel CRM Desktop add-in uses these entries. For more information, see Setting the URL for the Siebel Server and Modifying the Windows Registry to Change Siebel CRM Desktop Behavior.

CAUTION:  To edit the name and suffix of the server component, you cannot use the Login dialog box of the Siebel CRM Desktop add-in. If the customization package includes values that cause the server connection to fail, then you must edit these values manually in the Windows Registry on the client computer.
