System Preference

You can set an authentication-related system preference for Siebel applications in the Administration - Application screen. System preferences are enterprise-wide settings.

Following is the authentication-related system preference:

• SecThickClientExtAuthent. (TRUE or FALSE) To allow security adapter authentication for users who log in through the Siebel Dedicated Web Client, you must set the SecThickClientExtAuthent system preference to TRUE. This system preference has no effect on security adapter authentication for users who log in through the Siebel Web Client.
