Setting Configuration Parameters for Anonymous Browsing

This topic describes the configuration parameters you must set to enable anonymous browsing.

This task is a step in Process of Implementing Anonymous Browsing.

Perform the steps in the following procedure to implement anonymous browsing.

To set configuration parameters for anonymous browsing

1. For a Siebel Web Client deployment, set the AllowAnonUsers parameter to TRUE for the applicable Application Object Manager component as follows:
   1. Navigate to the Administration - Server Configuration screen, then the Servers view.
   2. In the Siebel Servers applet, select the relevant Siebel Server, then click the Components tab.
   3. Select the applicable component, for example, Call Center Object Manager, then click the Parameters tab.
   4. In the Component Parameters applet, locate the AllowAnonUsers parameter and set the Value to True.

      If this parameter is FALSE, then unregistered users are not allowed access to the Siebel application.

2. In the eapps.cfg file, set the following parameters:
   • AnonUserName

     This is the user name for the anonymous user. It is stored in the directory and also in the Siebel database. The anonymous user provides binding between the directory and the Application Object Manager to allow a Siebel application home page to display to a user who has not logged in. Similarly, this anonymous user supplies a login so the user can see other pages for which you allow anonymous browsing.

     CAUTION:  Specify the name of a restricted user for AnonUserName. Do not specify SADMIN as the AnonUserName; doing so allows anonymous users to access every part of the Siebel system.

   • AnonPassword

     This is the authenticated password that is paired with AnonUserName.
