Adding User Records in the Siebel Database

You must create a record in the Siebel Database that corresponds to the test user you create in Creating Users in the LDAP/ADS Directory.

You must confirm that the seed data record exists for the anonymous user for your Siebel customer or partner application, as described in Seed Users. This record must also match the anonymous user you created in Creating Users in the LDAP/ADS Directory.

You can adapt a seed data anonymous user or create a new anonymous user for a Siebel employee application. To adapt a seed anonymous user for a Siebel employee application, add any views to the anonymous user's responsibility that would be required for the employee application, such as a home page view in which a login form is embedded.

For purposes of confirming connectivity to the database, you can use the following procedure to add the test user for any Siebel application. However, if you are configuring a Siebel employee or partner application, and you want the user to be an employee or partner user, complete with position, division, and organization, see the instructions for adding such users in Internal Administration of Users.

To add user records to the database

1. Log in as an administrator to a Siebel employee application, such as Siebel Call Center.
2. From the application-level menu, choose Navigate > Site Map > Administration - User > Users.
3. In the Users list, create a new record.
4. Complete the following fields for the test user, then save the record. Use the indicated guidelines. Suggested entries are for this example. You can complete other fields, but they are not required.

   Field	Example Entry	Guideline
   Last Name		Required. Enter any name.
   First Name		Required. Enter any name.
   User ID	TESTUSER	Required. This entry must match the uid (LDAP) or sAMAccountName (ADS) attribute value for the test user in the directory. If you used another attribute, it must match that value.
   Responsibility		Required. Enter the seed data responsibility provided for registered users of the Siebel application that you implement. For example, enter Web Registered User for eService. If an appropriate seed responsibility does not exist, such as for a Siebel employee application, assign an appropriate responsibility that you create.
   New Responsibility		Optional. Enter the seed data responsibility provided for registered users of the Siebel application that you implement. For example, enter Web Registered User for eService. This responsibility is automatically assigned to new users created by this test user.

5. Verify that the seed data user record exists for anonymous users of the Siebel application you implement, as described in Seed Users.

   For example, verify that the seed data user record with user ID GUESTCST exists if you are implementing Siebel Service. If the record is not present, create it using the field values in Seed Users. You can complete other fields, but they are not required.
