Secure Views
You can require URLs to use the HTTPS protocol for specific views in your Siebel application. The following factors determine whether the Siebel Web Engine verifies that requests for a view use the HTTPS protocol:
- The value (
TRUE
orFALSE
) of the view's Secure attribute. For information about the Secure attribute for a view, see Siebel Tools Reference.- The value (
TRUE
orFALSE
) of theSecureBrowse
parameter in the application's configuration file, such as siebel.cfg.If
SecureBrowse
is set toTRUE
, then HTTPS is required for all views in the entire application, regardless of how the Secure attribute is set for individual views.If
SecureBrowse
is set toFALSE
, then HTTP is used for all views in the entire application, except for those views for which the Secure attribute is set toTRUE
. Secure views require HTTPS.If you plan to use the HTTPS protocol, remember the following:
- You can switch between secure and non-secure views in Siebel customer applications, but not in employee applications (such as Siebel Call Center). For employee applications, if any views are to be secure, then all views must be secure. Set the value of
SecureBrowse
toTRUE
.- Your Web server must be configured to support HTTPS.
- The Sun ONE Web Server does not support switching between secure and non-secure views in Siebel applications. If you are using the Sun ONE Web Server, set the value of
SecureBrowse
toTRUE
.NOTE: For some browsers, even if
SecureBrowse
is set toTRUE
, the following message may appear when you access a Siebel application, "This page contains both Secure and Non Secure items. Do you want to download non secure items?" Despite this message, Siebel application requests will be processed on HTTPS, not HTTP.
