Masking Passwords

The login pages of the various Siebel Wireless applications have been defined as Web Pages in Siebel Tools.

By default for these Siebel Wireless login Web pages, the Type parameter for the _SWEPassword Web Page Item is set to Text. Thus, the text of Siebel Wireless passwords is displayed on screen as users enter their passwords.

To present password characters entered by users as asterisks, change the Type parameter for the _SWEPassword Web page item to Password.

Consider the devices your users are using. Entering characters from a cell phone keyboard is more difficult than from a personal digital assistant, and most such users need the text confirmation that a particular character is the correct one.
