Setting the PropagateChange Parameter for Self-Registration

This topic describes the Siebel PropagateChange parameter. Setting the PropagateChange parameter to True simplifies user administration when you implement user self-registration.

This task is a step in Process of Implementing Self-Registration.

The user directory can be administered through Siebel Business Applications if you implement security adapter authentication. Changes such as adding a user, or changing a password by an internal administrator, a delegated administrator, or when a user self-registers, are propagated to the user directory.

Set the PropagateChange parameter to True for the security adapter so that user data, including user name and password, propagate to the user directory when users self-register from the Siebel Web Client.

To set the PropagateChange parameter to True

1. In a Siebel employee application, such as Siebel Call Center, navigate to the Administration - Server Configuration screen, then the Profile Configuration view.
2. Select either ADSI Security Adapter or LDAP Security Adapter, as appropriate.
3. In the Profile Parameters applet, set the Propagate Change parameter to True.

For additional information about setting the PropagateChange parameter, see Siebel Gateway Name Server Parameters.

NOTE:  If you do not configure your security adapter authentication architecture to allow administration through the Siebel Web Client as described here, then you must manually create a record in the user directory when a new user is created in the Siebel database.
