About Security Configuration of Siebel Management Server and Management Agent

This topic describes the Siebel Management Server and Siebel Management Agent security configurations necessary for Siebel Application Deployment Manager (ADM).

During the installation and configuration of the Management Server a Siebel user (Siebel administrator) is specified with a corresponding user name and password. The Siebel administrator runs the Management Server and Management Agent and may also perform deployment operations.

Security responsibilities are also assigned during the installation and configuration of the Management Server. Three particular responsibilities pertain to ADM:

• MgmtSrvr-Admin. Siebel Management Server administrative responsibilities.
• MgmtSrvr-Deploy&Execute. Allows users to execute ADM deploy and execute commands.
• MgmtSrvr-Monitor. Allows users to monitor the status of the deployment operations, like status or report, but does not allow them to execute ADM deploy and execute commands.

Responsibilities can be modified by the Siebel administrator in the Administration - User screen of a Siebel application, such as Siebel Call Center.

Some user information and encrypted passwords are stored in the following files:

• security.properties
• management.policy
• catalina.policy

NOTE:  Do not edit the security.properties file unless the system user's password has changed. Changing the management.policy and catalina.policy files is not recommended.

For additional information about security configuration of Siebel Management Server and Siebel Management Agent, see Siebel Security Guide. See also relevant content in the Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.
