Overview of Self-Registration

---

Several Siebel applications allow users to self-register as a default functionality.

This section observes the following principles about self-registration functionality that is provided by default with your Siebel applications:

Self-registration applies to Siebel customer and partner applications.
Self-registration can be implemented only in Siebel applications whose clients use standard interactively. It cannot be implemented for Siebel employee applications or for any other Siebel application that uses the high interactively client.
You can configure any eligible Siebel application to either allow or disallow self-registration.
You implement security adapter authentication with Siebel applications for which you allow self-registration.

To implement self-registration for applications that use Web SSO user authentication, you are responsible for configuring the self-registration functionality at the Web site level and for synchronizing the user data with the Siebel Database. Configuration guidelines are not provided in Siebel applications documentation. Self-registration is not feasible when you implement database authentication.

NOTE:  If you implement an adapter-defined user name in your user authentication environment, then you cannot implement tools that allow users' Siebel user IDs stored in the directory to be managed from within Siebel applications, including user self-registration. For information about user authentication, see User Authentication Overview.

Self-registration functionality for Siebel customer and partner applications is included in your Siebel eBusiness Applications installation.
