Granting User Permissions on the Web Server
After installing the Siebel Web Server Extension on a Web server running UNIX, take the following steps.
To modify permissions on all platforms
- Verify that the Web server administrator has read and execute permission on all Siebel Web Server Extension directories and files.
- Verify that the directories containing the files for the Web image publishing and file caching features have read and write permission to the SWSE plug-in process owner.
To modify permissions on Sun ONE (iPlanet) Web Server
- Verify that you have already installed Sun ONE (iPlanet) Web Server (IWS) Version6 Sp2. This version and patch is required to use Siebel Web plug-in 7.5.2 on Solaris.
- Once the correct version of the Sun ONE (iPlanet) Web server is installed, use the Sun ONE (iPlanet) Web server administration console to create a Web server instance. You can find the administration console at:
IWS_install
/https-admservhwhere:
IWS_install
= the root directory of the Sun ONE (iPlanet) Web server.- In that directory, run
./start
to open the administration console.- Open an instance of Internet Explorer browser and enter the following URL:
http://
machineName
:portNumber
/https-admservwhere:
machineName
= the name of the local machine on which the Web server resides.
portNumber
= the port number of the HTTP Web server.The Sun ONE (iPlanet) Web server administration console is displayed in the browser window.
- In the Web server administration console, choose Add Server. Enter the following values required to define the new instance of the Web server:
- Server Name: This can be any name, but is usually the host computer's name, as in
machine_name
.
domainname.com
.- Server Port: The port number on which you want to run this Web server.
- Server Identifier: This can be any name, but is usually identified as
machine_name
-port_number
.CAUTION: If you use port 1 to 1024, you must have root privileges to start the Web server. If you do not have or need root privileges, use a port number greater than 1024. Verify that your port is available using the command:
netstat -a | grep
port number
- Server User: Usually either root or the system user based on which port you choose.
- MTA Host: Accept the default.
- Install the Siebel Web Server Extension. Run
install_eappweb
under a user account that can modify Sun ONE (iPlanet) Web server configuration files.NOTE: If you installed Sun ONE (iPlanet) using root privileges, you must have root privileges to install the Siebel Web Server Extensions.
- When the installer asks you for the root directory for Sun ONE (iPlanet), enter the root directory of the IWS instance you previously defined, for example,
$
IWS_HOME
/$IWS_INSTANCE
where:
IWS_HOME
= the root directory of the Sun ONE (iPlanet) Web server.
IWS_INSTANCE
= the directory of the instance you created.- Verify that the account the Sun ONE (iPlanet)
httpd daemon
uses has the following privileges:
- Write permissions for the
$
SWEAPP_ROOT
/log
directory. Typically this means that you must change the permissions for the appropriate directory.- Recursive read and write permissions to all files in the
$
SWEAPP_ROOT/public
and$
SWEAPP_ROOT
/public/enu
directory.To modify Permissions on IBM HTTP Server (IHS) and HP-Apache2
Make sure that the login running the Web server has the following permissions for the scripts installed with the Siebel Web Server Extension:
- Read, write and execute privilege for starting and stopping the Web server.
- Write permission for the log file path.
- Read-write permissions to files in
$
SWEAPP_ROOT
/public
.CAUTION: If you use port 1 to 1024, you must have root privileges to start the Web server. If you do not have or need root privileges, use a port number greater than 1024. Verify that your port is available using the command:
netstat -a | grep
port number
- Install the Siebel Web Server Extension. Run
install_eappweb
under a user account that can modify IBM HTTP or HP-Apache 2 Web server configuration files.NOTE: If you installed your Web server using root privileges, you must have root privileges to install the Siebel Web Server Extensions.
- Verify that the account the IBM HTTP or HP-Apache 2
httpd daemon
uses has the following privileges:
- Write permissions for the
$
SWEAPP_ROOT
/log
directory. Typically this means that you must change the permissions for the appropriate directory.- Recursive read and write permissions to all files in the
$
SWEAPP_ROOT/public
and$
SWEAPP_ROOT
/public/enu
directory.
