Adding D&B User Credentials

---

In addition to D&B Company Profiles provided by eBriefings, Siebel Systems and D&B offer a co-branded Web site that allows Siebel customers access to the D&B detailed business and credit reports through their Siebel application. These reports include Business Background Reports, Financial Profiles, Payment Analysis Reports, and Supplier Evaluations.

Siebel customers have two options for providing users with access to D&B business and credit reports.

Credit card access. Default option that requires the user to enter credit card information for payment.
Contract access. Requires customers to sign a contract with D&B. Customers are then given login credentials to use each time they order D&B reports, and the price of the report is billed against the contract.

If your company has a contract with D&B to purchase these reports, you can configure your Siebel eBriefings application to allow users contract access to the D&B company report site. This will allow your employees to click a D&B link in the Additional Information section of Briefing documents and enter the D&B Report site with contract access.

To enable the D&B link, you will need to enter your company's D&B account name and password in the Host Administration applet in the Administration view.

To enable contract access to the D&B report Web site

Navigate to Integration Administration and click Symbolic URL Administration.
Select the AccountAdditionalInfo symbolic URL name.
Supply the following URL Arguments:

Field	Comments
DNB Link	Specify a value of "Contract."
DNB Password	The password is the password from the login credentials issued by D&B.
DNB User	The value is the user name from the login credentials issued by D&B.

Repeat the above steps for the CompanyAdditionalInfo symbolic URL name.

When users click the D&B link that appears in Account, Competitor, or Company Briefings, they enter the D&B Company Report site with contract access.

For more information about D&B reports and services, see Applications Administration Guide.
