Using Secure Cookies |
New topic. Configure the EnableSecureCookie parameter to specify whether or not the Secure attribute is assigned to session cookies. To increase the security of session cookies, Siebel Business Applications assign the Secure attribute to all session cookies by default. |
About Manager Access Control |
Modified topic. The Visibility Applet Type field specified for a view determines the access control properties for the view. However, if a more restrictive value is specified for the Visibility Applet Type field for another view that is based on the same business component, then the restrictions of this visibility type are applied to all views using the business component. |
