Administration Views

There are four administration views that allow you to specify the necessary information related to HTML content controls. This includes information such as, host name, URL, required arguments, authentication parameters, and so on.

The views used to enter this information are described in Table 64:

Table 64. Administration Views for HTML Content
View Name	Menu Path	Description
Host Administration	From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Integration > Host Administration.	Allows you to enter the HTTP host, including virtual name and authentication parameters.
Fixup Administration	From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Integration > Fixup Administration.	Allows you to specify how to handle links post processing.
Symbolic URL Administration	From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Integration > Fixup Administration.	Allows you to specify the content agent for an external host. This includes URL, host name, fixup name, and arguments.
Content Sets	From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Content Center > Content Sets.	Allows you to upload and manage Web content to be rendered in the Siebel Application.

For an overview of content agents and symbolic URLs as well as procedure for administering content agents, see Siebel Portal Framework Guide.

The Host Administration View

The Host Administration view is used to specify hosts that either require fixup processing, authentication, or to simply obscure the true host name. Only links associated with a specified host are fixed up.

For each host, you need to specify an external content host server. The specification of a host enables one or more of the following features:

It obscures the true servername in the generated HTML.

It allows the specification of a set of NCSA Basic Authentication credentials for content hosts that require authentication.

It allows administrators to control fixup at the host level.

Fixup Administration View

Administrators can use this view to control the behavior of links embedded within the external content. A fixup has a Link Context, which corresponds to the fixup type. There are four types of fixups:

Do Nothing. This fixup does not affect any of the links. The links (relative or absolute) remain as they are with the content being passed back in its original form.

Outside Application. This fixup converts all of the relative links to absolute links using the host and path of the parent URL. No links are proxied.

Inside Application. This fixup converts all of the relative links to absolute links and any links using a host from the Hosts table (for example, navigated to by choosing Integration Administration > Host Administration) are proxied in order to maintain all of the SWE context.

Inside Applet. This fixup performs the same as the Inside Application fixup.

NOTE: Fixup is required for all links within applications that use high interactivity.

Proxied Links

When using either the Inside Application or Inside Applet fixup type, any link using a host from the Hosts table is proxied. Any relative link is first converted to an absolute URL, and then if the host is in the Hosts table, the link is proxied.

Default Link Targets

There are no default link targets applied to a fixup. However, a fixup may have a link target specified for it, in which case the link target will be added to the fixup.
