Starting the Application for the First Time

In order to begin setting up your Siebel application, you must log in with administrative responsibilities. The Siebel database server installation script creates a Siebel administrator account that you can use to perform administrative tasks. The default user ID and password are SADMIN and SADMIN (case-sensitive). Your database administrator may also have created a user ID and password that allows you to access the Siebel Server and perform the required setup. To set up entities in the Group Administration view, you must be connected to the Siebel Server; you will not have full administrative capabilities for this view if you are connected to the local database or working in a mobile Web client.

NOTE:  The responsibility for the SADMIN ID that comes with Siebel applications cannot be modified. However, you can copy this responsibility and modify the copy. For more information, see Security Guide for Siebel eBusiness Applications.

You can start Siebel applications from the Siebel Dedicated Web Client or from the Siebel Web Client. Instructions for both are described below.

TIP:  If you have not yet entered any license keys, you must enter the first license key from the Siebel Dedicated Web Client or from Siebel Tools. For more information, see Entering License Keys.

To start a Siebel application from the Siebel Dedicated Web Client for the first time

  1. From the Start menu, choose Programs and then choose your Siebel application.
  2. Enter SADMIN in the User ID and Password fields.
  3. In the Connect to field, choose the server database from the drop-down list and click OK.

    For information about the other databases available in the Connect to drop-down list, see Selecting a Datasource.

  4. If a message tells you that there is no valid license key, click OK.
  5. In the License Key dialog box, enter the Siebel eBusiness base application license key and click OK.

    For more information about license keys, see Entering License Keys. If you need to enter additional license keys, see Entering an Additional License Key.

To start a Siebel application from the Siebel Web Client for the first time
