Creating Accounts and Passwords
This task is a step in Process of Configuring Encryption and Authentication for the Remote Client. To authenticate a remote client when it synchronizes, you must create an account for each client. The authentication method you choose determines the account you must create. To create accounts and passwords
- Create an account and password according to the type of authentication you use. Use values from the following table.
|
|
AppServer authentication |
Create a user account on the Siebel Server for each remote client:
For more information, see How the Change Password Functionality Impacts Authentication |
Database authentication |
Create a database account and password for each remote client. |
Siebel authentication |
Do the following:
- Access the Mobile Clients view of the Administration - Siebel Remote screen, and then set the password for each remote client.
- Communicate the password to the user so the user can synchronize with the Siebel Server.
|
SecurityAdapter authentication |
Create the accounts and passwords that your third party authentication system requires. For example, it might be necessary for you to create records in an LDAP or ADS directory. |
No authentication |
Do not create accounts or passwords for authentication. |
How the Change Password Functionality Impacts Authentication
If you use the change password functionality on the remote client while connected to the Siebel Server, then Siebel Remote changes the server password and stores it in a table that is specific to the server database, and not in a Siebel table. In this situation, the remote client is not synchronized with the local database. To access the local database until Siebel Remote reextracts the node, the user must still use the old user password. Summary of Accounts, User IDs, and Passwords That Siebel Remote Uses
Table 10 summarizes the accounts, user IDs, and passwords that Siebel Remote uses.
