Creating Users in the Directory


Create three users in the directory as described in Table 11. The attribute names, sAMAccountName and userPassword, are those suggested in this example. Your entries may vary depending on how you make attribute assignments in Setting Up the Active Directory Server.

Table 11.  Directory Records
User
SAMAccountName
Password
Database Account
Anonymous user
  • Enter the user ID of the anonymous user record for the Siebel application you are implementing. You can use a seed data anonymous user record, as described in Seed Data, for a Siebel customer or partner application. For example, if you implement Siebel eService, enter GUESTCST.
  • You can create a new user record or adapt a seed anonymous user record for a Siebel employee application.
GUESTPW or a password of your choice
username=LDAPUSER password=P
Application user
APPUSER or a name of your choice
APPUSERPW or a password of your choice
Database account is not required for application user.
A test user
TESTUSER or a name of your choice
TESTPW or a password of your choice
username=LDAPUSER password=P

The sAMAccountName and Password entries for the application user and test user are only suggested. You may vary those entries.

The database account for all three users is the same, and must match the database account reserved for externally-authenticated users described in Creating a Database Login. P represents the password in that database account. For information about formatting the database account attribute entry, see Requirements for Directory.

CAUTION:  Make sure the application user has privileges to search all records in the directory.

Complete other attribute fields for each user as are needed.
