Tuning the Siebel Web Server Extension for AIX


You must first tune the Siebel Web Server Extension to run Siebel applications on AIX.

To tune the Siebel Web Server Extension for AIX

  1. On your AIX server, navigate to the bin directory in the Siebel Web Server Extension installation directory.
  2. Using a text editor such as vi, open the eapps.cfg file for editing.
  3. Set AnonUserPool to 20% of target No. of users. This is the minimum required.
  4. Set GuestSessionTimeout to 60.
  5. NOTE:  This configuration is required for scenarios where the user is browsing without logging in.

  6. Set the appropriate AnonUser user names and passwords according to your user authentication strategy. The following settings will work well in most deployments. For more complete information, see Security Guide for Siebel eBusiness Applications.
    1. For Siebel employee applications, such as Siebel Call Center with database login, set the user name to SADMIN and the password to SADMIN.
    2. For Siebel customer applications, such as Siebel eService and eSales, set the user name to GUESTCST and the password to GUESTCST.
    3. For Siebel ERM, set the user name to GUESTERM and the password to GUESTERM.
    4. For Siebel partner applications, such as Siebel eChannel, set the user name to GUESTCP and the password to GUESTCP.
  7. Set Memory Allocator to ON as the default setting.
