Setting Security Adapter Parameters in the SWSE Configuration File (eapps.cfg)


This topic describes the parameter values you must enter in the SWSE configuration file (eapps.cfg) when you implement LDAP or ADSI security adapter authentication. For information about editing eapps.cfg parameters and about the purposes of the parameters, see About Parameters in the eapps.cfg File.

This task is a step in Process of Implementing LDAP or ADSI Security Adapter Authentication.

Enter values for eapps.cfg file parameters using values similar to those shown in Table 13. Specify values for AnonUserName and AnonPassword in the defaults section of the eapps.cfg file if you are configuring LDAP or ADSI authentication for all your Siebel Business Applications. If you are implementing LDAP or ADSI authentication for a single application, as in this example, then specify these parameters in the application-specific section of the eapps.cfg file.

[defaults]

SingleSignOn

TrustToken

UserSpec

UserSpecSource

If these parameters are present, then comment out each with a semicolon at the beginning of the line.

Do the same if these parameters are present in any other sections.

The section that is specific to your application, such as one of the following:

[/eservice_enu]
[/callcenter_enu]

where _enu is the language code for U.S. English.

AnonUserName

Enter the user ID of the seed data user record provided for the application that you implement, or of the user record you create for the anonymous user.

This entry also matches the uid (LDAP) or sAMAccountName (ADSI) entry for the anonymous user record in the directory. For example, enter GUESTCST for Siebel eService.

AnonPassword

Enter the password you created in the directory for the anonymous user.

Whether or not you have to encrypt the password depends on the value specified for the EncryptedPassword parameter. For information on this parameter, see Encrypted Passwords in the eapps.cfg File.

Typically, password encryption applies to the eapps.cfg file. In this case, you must specify the encrypted password, unless you provide the password through the Siebel Configuration Wizard.

ProtectedVirtualDirectory

If this parameter is present, then comment it out with a semicolon at the beginning of the line.
