Testing the External Authentication System
The following tests confirm that the Siebel security adapter, your directory, and the Siebel application you are implementing work together to:
- Provide a Web page on which the user can log in.
- Allow an authenticated user to log in.
- Allow a user to browse anonymously, if applicable to your Siebel application.
- Allow a user to self-register, if applicable to your Siebel application.
To test your external authentication system
- On a Web browser, enter the URL to your Siebel application, such as http://www.mycompany.com/eservice.
A Web page with a login form should appear, confirming that the anonymous user can successfully access the login page.
The following figure shows the login form for Siebel eService. It includes user ID and password fields and screen tabs for anonymous browsing.
- If you see screen tabs, such as the ones shown for Siebel eService, click on various tabs to access screens intended for anonymous browsing. Employee applications, such as Siebel Call Center, typically do not allow anonymous browsing, while most other Siebel applications do.
- Navigate back to the Web page that contains the login text boxes, and then log in with the user ID and the password for the test user you created. Enter
TESTUSER
or the user ID you created andTESTPW
or the password you created.More screen tabs should appear, indicating that the test user is authenticated successfully and the user record in the database is providing views through the expanded responsibility of this registered user.
- Click Logout.
- Repeat Step 1 to access the login page again. If a New User button is present, click it. If a New User button is not present, your Siebel application, without additional configuration, does not allow users to self-register.
The Personal Information form appears.
- Complete the required fields on the Personal Information form, as shown below, and then submit the form. You can complete other fields, but they are not required.
- Navigate to the page containing the login text fields.
- Login using the user ID and password you created in Step 6.
You should log in successfully and be able to navigate in screens provided for registered users.
