Configuring a Secure Connection Between a Siebel Web Client and the Siebel Reports Server

Siebel Business Applications support secure connections using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). This topic describes how to configure a secure connection between a Siebel Web Client and the Siebel Reports Server using SSL.

When configuring SSL for Siebel Reports, you must set the value of the PreloadURL symbolic URL argument to an HTTPS URL (secure URL), rather than a HTTP URL (non-secure). The Siebel Web Client uses this value when connecting to the Siebel Reports Server.

NOTE:  If the PreloadURL argument value is not set for a secure connection, a blank page appears the first time the browser connects to the Siebel Reports Server.

Use the following procedure to configure a secure connection between a Siebel Web Client and the Siebel Reports Sever.

To configure a secure connection between a Siebel Web Client and the Siebel Reports Server

1. Navigate to the Administration - Integration screen, WI Symbolic URL List, and then Symbolic URL Administration view.
2. In the Symbolic URL Administration view, select one of the following:
   • ReportsServerFilesPage
   • ReportsServerImmediateJob
   • ReportsServerJobsPage
   • ReportsServerPersonalPage
   • ReportsServerScheduleJob
3. In the Symbolic URL Argument list, select PreloadURL, and then change the value to provide a secure URL (an HTTPS view).
4. Repeat Step 2 through Step 3 as needed.
