Configuring Secure Views

You can create secure views for your Web application, using the HTTPS protocol. If a view is marked as secure, the Siebel Web Engine will verify that the current request used the HTTPS protocol, thereby preventing a client from obtaining access to a secure view by typing HTTP instead of HTTPS into their browser.

To specify that a view is secure

1. Navigate to a View.
2. In the Object List Editor, set the Secure property to TRUE.

   At run time, Siebel Web Engine will specify HTTPS protocol when it generates URLs to the view.

NOTE:  The implementation of HTTPS is external to Siebel Web Engine. HTTPS is negotiated by the browser and the Web Server. Siebel Web Engine only specifies that HTTPS should be used for a particular view. Therefore, any server that is expected to provide secure views must have HTTPS enabled.
