Bookshelf v7.5: Editing Parameter Values in the Application Configuration File

Provide the parameter values as indicated by the guidelines in Table 8 in the configuration file for the Siebel application you are implementing. For a list of Siebel application configuration files, refer to Siebel Server Administration Guide.

NOTE: You can use a text editor to make changes to an application configuration file or you can use the LDAP/ADSI Configuration Utility to make these changes. For more information, see Using the LDAP/ADSI Configuration Utility.

Table 8. Siebel Application Configuration File Parameter Values
Section	Parameter	Guidelines for Siebel LDAP and ADSI Adapters
[SWE]	`AllowAnonUsers`	Enter `TRUE` for LDAP and ADSI.
[SWE]	`SecureLogin`	Enter `TRUE` or `FALSE`. If `TRUE`, the login request (HTTP POST) from the login form is transmitted using HTTPS. For information about other requirements for secure login, see Secure Login.
[SecurityAdapters]	Add a line for each security adapter you may implement; most likely there is only one.	LDAP suggested entry is `LDAP`. ADSI suggested entry is `ADSI`.
The section for the particular security adapter you implement, for example [LDAP] or [ADSI]	`DllName`	For LDAP, enter `sscfldap`. You do not need to include the file extension (for example `sscfldap.dll`). If you enter `sscfldap` here, it is converted internally to the actual filename for your operating system. For ADSI, enter `sscfadsi.dll`.
	`ServerName`	LDAP and ADS, enter the name of the machine on which the LDAP or ADS server runs. For more information, see Siebel Application Configuration File Parameters.
	`Port`	The LDAP suggested entry is `389`. Typically, use port 389 for standard transmission or port 636 for secure transmission. For ADSI, you set the port at the ADS directory level, not as a configuration parameter. If this parameter is present, comment it out, or you can delete the line from the file.
	`BaseDN`	The Base Distinguished Name is the root of the tree under which users are stored. Users can be added directly or indirectly below this directory. LDAP suggested entry (including quotes): "ou=People, o=domain_name" In the example, "`o`" denotes "organization" and is the domain name system (DNS) name for this server, such as `machine.company.com`. "`ou`" denotes "organization unit" and is the subdirectory in which users are stored. ADSI suggested entry (including quotes): "CN=Users, DC=machine_name, DC=domain_name, DC=com" Domain Controller (DC) entries are the nested domains that locate this server. Common Name (CN) entries are the specific paths for the user objects in the directory. Therefore, adjust the number of DC and CN entries to represent your architecture.
	`UserNameAttributeType`	The LDAP suggested entry is `uid` The ADSI suggested entry is `sAMAccountName` If you use a different attribute in the directory for the Siebel user ID, enter that attribute name.
	`PasswordAttributeType`	The LDAP entry must be `userPassword`. If a different value is specified, the LDAP security adapter will not function properly. ADS does not store the password in an attribute, so this parameter is not used with the Siebel ADSI adapter. If this parameter is present, comment it out, or delete the line from the file.
	`CredentialsAttributeType`	The LDAP and ADSI suggested entry is `dbaccount` If you used a different attribute in the directory for the database account, enter that attribute name.
	`ApplicationUser`	LDAP suggested entry (including quotes): "uid=APPUSER, ou=People, o=`domain`_`name`" ADSI suggested entry (including quotes): "CN=APPUSER, CN=Users, DC=`machine_name`, DC=`domain_name`, DC=com" Adjust your entry if your implementation uses a different attribute for the user name, a different user name for the application user, or a different base DN.
	`ApplicationPassword`	For LDAP and ADSI, enter `APPUSERPW` or the password assigned to the application user.
	`SharedCredentialsDN`	LDAP suggested entry (including quotes): "uid=anonymous user User ID, ou=People, o=`domain_name`" For example: "uid=GUESTCST, ou=People, o=siebel.com" ADSI suggested entry (including quotes): "CN=anonymous user User ID, CN=Users, DC=`machine_name`, DC=`domain_name`, DC=com" For example: "CN=GUESTCST, CN=Users, DC=qa1, DC=siebel, DC=com"
	`RolesAttributeType` `SslDatabase` `UseSSL` `EncryptCredentialsPassword` `EncryptApplicationPassword` `SingleSignOn` `TrustToken` `UseAdapterUsername` `SiebelUsernameAttributeType` `UseRemoteConfig`	If these parameters are present, comment out each with a semicolon at the beginning of the line. Alternatively, you can delete these parameter lines from the file.
