Configuring the SWSE Logical Profile


This procedure describes how to configure an SWSE logical profile. The same steps apply whether you are configuring the first SWSE logical profile, reconfiguring the same profile with different settings, or configuring any additional profile.

For background information, see About Configuring the Siebel Web Server Extension.

This topic is part of Process of Configuring the Siebel Web Server Extension.

To configure the SWSE logical profile

  1. Open a shell window on the computer on which you installed the Siebel Gateway Name Server.
  2. Source the cfgenv.csh or cfgenv.sh environment setup file.

    Navigate to the $SIEBEL_GATEWAY_ROOT directory and source the environment file by using one of the following commands, depending on the type of shell that you use. Perform this step before each time that you run the Siebel Enterprise Configuration Wizard.

    C shell

    source cfgenv.csh

    Bourne or Korn shell

    . ./cfgenv.sh

    TIP:   Make sure that there is a space between the initial period and ./cfgenv.sh.

    In this path, $SIEBEL_GATEWAY_ROOT is the location of the Siebel Gateway Name Server root directory. For example, for Siebel CRM version 8.1.1.11, the directory might be /export/home/siebel/8.1.1.11.0/ses/gtwysrvr.

  3. Start the Siebel Enterprise Configuration Wizard.

    For more information, see Starting a Siebel Configuration Wizard.

    Enter a command similar to the following:

    install_path/config/config -mode enterprise

    In this path, install_path is the installation path for the installed Siebel Gateway Name Server software.

  4. Choose Create New Configuration, then Configure a New Siebel Web Server Extension Logical Profile.
  5. Provide input as described in Table 5. The wizard displays help text with more information about these settings.
  6. Click Exit Configuration to exit the Configuration Wizard.

Configuration Settings for the SWSE Logical Profile

Table 8 describes the settings for configuring the SWSE logical profile.

Table 8. Settings for Configuring the SWSE Logical Profile
Setting in Siebel Configuration Wizard
Parameter in eapps.cfg File
Comment or Description

Siebel Enterprise Name

[/SiebelApp_lang]
ConnectString

Part of the ConnectString value represents the Siebel Enterprise name.

SWSE Logical Profile Name

Not applicable

By default, this location is the admin/Webserver directory under the home directory of the installed Siebel Enterprise Server component (such as Siebel Gateway Name Server).

For example, for Siebel CRM version 8.1.1.11 on UNIX, the default SWSE logical profile location is /siebel/8.1.1.11.0/ses/gtwysrvr/admin/Webserver.

You specify this location later when you configure the SWSE, as described in Applying the SWSE Logical Profile.

Language for Server Messages and Logs

[swe]
Language

The primary language, used for server messages and log files. Specify the same primary language that you selected when configuring the Siebel Enterprise Server software. See also About Installing and Deploying Siebel Business Applications with Multiple Languages.

Collect Application-Specific Statistics

[swe]
AllowStats

Indicates whether to collect application-specific statistics.

Compression Type

[/SiebelApp_lang]
ConnectString

Specify the type of compression to use for communications between the SWSE and the Siebel Servers. Part of the ConnectString value represents the compression type.

Possible values are None or ZLIB.

HTTP 1.1-Compliant Firewall and Enable Web Compression

[defaults]
DoCompression

For more information, see Enabling HTTP Compression for Siebel Business Applications.

Login Session Timeout Value

[defaults]
GuestSessionTimeout

The total number of seconds that a guest session can remain inactive before the guest user is logged out and the session is closed.

Default value: 300 (in seconds)

Active Session Timeout Value

[defaults]
SessionTimeout

The total number of seconds that a session can remain inactive before the user is logged out and the session is closed.

Default value: 900 (in seconds)

HTTP Port Number

[defaults]
HTTPPort

Specify the port number that this Web server uses for Web browser connections.

Default value: 80

HTTPS Port Number

[defaults]
HTTPSPort

Specify the port number that this Web server uses for secure Web browser connections.

Default value: 443

Fully Qualified Domain Name

[defaults]
EnableFQDN
FQDN

If you specify a fully qualified domain name, then the value is stored in the FQDN parameter, and EnableFQDN is set to TRUE.

High Interactivity or Employee User Login Name and Password

[defaults]
AnonUserName
AnonPassword

The Siebel user ID that starts the anonymous session from which an end user is shown the login page for an employee application. (These applications can be deployed using either high interactivity or Siebel Open UI.)

Employee applications use these parameters, which are defined in the [defaults] section.

The EncryptedPassword parameter specifies whether passwords are encrypted in the eapps.cfg file.

For more information about anonymous users, see Requirements for Configuring Anonymous Users for the Siebel Web Server Extension.

Password Encryption

[defaults]
EncryptedPassword

Specifies whether to encrypt all of the passwords stored in the eapps.cfg file. By default, EncryptedPassword is TRUE. For more information about managing encrypted passwords, see Siebel Security Guide.

Standard Interactivity or Contact User Login Name and Password

[/SiebelApp_lang]
AnonUserName
AnonPassword

The Siebel user ID that starts the anonymous session from which an end user is shown the login page for a customer application. This anonymous user must have access to any public view in the Siebel application.

For customer applications only, these parameters are defined in application-specific sections of the eapps.cfg file. These values override the values defined in the [defaults] section, which are used by employee applications.

The EncryptedPassword parameter specifies whether passwords are encrypted in the eapps.cfg file.

For more information about anonymous users, see Requirements for Configuring Anonymous Users for the Siebel Web Server Extension.

Siebel Enterprise Security Token

[/SiebelApp_lang]
SiebEntTrustToken

A password that is used to update static files on the Web server.

The EncryptedPassword parameter specifies whether passwords are encrypted in the eapps.cfg file.

For more information about this token, see About the Siebel Enterprise Security Token.

Web Server-Specific Statistics: Default Statistics Page for Web Server

[defaults]
statspage

The default value is _stats.swe. It is recommended that you change the default value, so that the Web server statistics are saved into a different file name.

Select the Connection Protocol and Encryption

Not applicable

Specify if you are using TLS (Transport Layer Security) or SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) for communication between Siebel Servers and the SWSE.

Choices are TCP/IP (no encryption, the default), TLS, or SSL.

TLS or SSL settings for SWSE must be compatible with those for Siebel Servers that connect to this Web server.

The wizard prompts for remaining parameters related to TLS or SSL only if you select one of these options.

For more information about TLS, SSL, and the related parameters defined in the [ConnMgmt] section of the eapps.cfg file, see Siebel Security Guide.
