Bookshelf v7.5: Adding User Records in the Siebel Database

Adding User Records in the Siebel Database

You must create a record in the Siebel Database that corresponds to the test user you create in Creating Users in the Directory.

You must confirm that the seed data record exists for the anonymous user for your Siebel customer or partner application, as described in Table 24. This record must also match the anonymous user you created in Creating Users in the Directory.

You can adapt a seed data anonymous user or create a new anonymous user for a Siebel employee application. To adapt a seed anonymous user for a Siebel employee application, add any views to the anonymous user's responsibility that would be required for the employee application, such as a home page view in which a login form is embedded.

For purposes of confirming connectivity to the database, you can use the following procedure to add the test user for any Siebel application. However, if you are configuring a Siebel employee or partner application, and you want the user to be an employee or partner user, complete with position, division, and organization, see the instructions for adding such users in Internal Administration of Users.

To add user records to the database

From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > User Administration > Users.

The All Users list appears.

In the All Users list, click the menu button and choose New Record.

A new All Users form appears.

Use the following guidelines to complete the field entries for the test user, and then click Save. Suggested entries are for this example. You can complete other fields, but they are not required.


Field	Suggested Entry	Guideline
Last Name		Required. Enter any name.
First Name		Required. Enter any name.
User ID	`TESTUSER`	Required. This entry must match the uid (LDAP) or sAMAccountName (ADS) attribute value for the test user in the directory. If you used another attribute, it must match that value.
Responsibility		Required. Enter the seed data responsibility provided for registered users of the Siebel application that you implement. For example, enter Web Registered User for eService. If an appropriate seed responsibility does not exist, such as for a Siebel employee application, assign an appropriate responsibility that you create.
New Responsibility		Optional. Enter the seed data responsibility provided for registered users of the Siebel application that you implement. For example, enter Web Registered User for eService. This responsibility is automatically assigned to new users created by this test user.

Verify that the seed data User record exists for anonymous users of the Siebel application you implement, as described in Table 24.

For example, verify that the seed data User record with user ID GUESTCST exists if you are implementing Siebel eService. If the record is not present, create it using the field values in Table 24. You can complete other fields, but they are not required.
