Setting Up eContent Host and Authentication Credentials

During Siebel Server installation, the administrator installing the application is asked if the organization has purchased Siebel ERM, Siebel ERM and Siebel eContent Services, or neither. When you select Siebel ERM or Siebel ERM and Siebel eContent Services, you are asked to enter the assigned content host name, user name, and password that allows you to access the Siebel application-hosted data. Siebel application-hosted data consists of company profiles, corporation relationship information, premium external news feeds, and productivity content from leading content producers and providers. You can also edit these parameters within the application using the following procedures.

NOTE:  The host name, user name, and password credentials are provided in the license key letter distributed to each customer after purchase.
