Setting Up Content Services Host and Authentication Credentials


During Siebel Server installation, the administrator installing the application is asked to specify if the organization has purchased Siebel ERM, Siebel ERM and Siebel Content Services, or neither. When you select Siebel ERM or Siebel ERM and Siebel Content 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.
