Creating a Credential Vault

You need to create a credential vault for storing the Siebel Analytics Web administrator user name and password. The portlet uses these to authenticate WebSphere users against Siebel Analytics Web through the process of impersonation, in the same way that Siebel Delivers logs on to Siebel Analytics Web as the administrator and then impersonates the user who wants an iBot run. Thus, the WebSphere user, must also exist in the Siebel Analytics Repository. WebSphere logs into Siebel Analytics Web using the administrator's credentials but tells Siebel Analytics Web that the user logging in is the WebSphere user.

To create a credential vault

1. In the IBM WebSphere Portal Welcome screen, click Administration.
2. Click Access, then click Credential Vault.
3. In the Credential Vault screen, click Add a vault slot.
4. In the Select Vault screen, fill in the fields using the following values, then click OK.

   Field	Value
   Vault	Default
   Name	sawseveradmin
   Vault Segment	DefaultAdminSegment
   Vault slot is shared	Checked
   Shared userid	Enter a user ID that has Administrative privileges.
   Shared password	Enter the password for the account.

5. Click Portlet Management, then click Applications.
6. In the Manage Applications screen, use the search function to locate the Siebel Analytics Web Portlets default concreate application.

   Suggestion: Search by "Title starts with" and search for the term "Siebel Analytics".

7. In the Portlet applications list click the pencil icon to the right of the Siebel Analytics Web Portlets default concreate application row.

NOTE:  WebSphere's Manage Application's screen cannot accept modifications to existing parameters. You must delete any existing parameters and add new parameters with the new values.

8. In the Manage Applications screen, delete any existing parameters and enter the following parameters and click OK.
