Setting Up a New Siebel Remote User

This task is a step in Process of Configuring Siebel Remote.

Setting up a Siebel Mobile Web Client involves certain tasks for the Siebel Remote server and the Siebel Mobile Web Client. You must repeat each of these steps for each mobile client.

To set up a new Siebel Remote user

1. Create a Siebel Mobile Web Client user account and privileges.

   Because NREC does not use authentication for the Siebel Mobile Web Client, you do not create this account or password for the NREC example. Not using accounts or passwords is the easiest and most popular configuration. It is the default configuration.

2. Install and configure the hardware and software for the Siebel Mobile Web Client.

   Depending on your implementation, this work might include the following items:

   • Install disk drives, memory cards, and operating system software.
   • Configuring user information.
   • Install the necessary hardware and software on the Siebel Mobile Web Client so the Siebel Mobile Web Client can exchange files with the Siebel Remote server. This work might include choosing communication settings and installing networking cards, modems, and software.

     For more information, see Siebel Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows.

3. Set Siebel Remote preferences.

   To identify the location of the Siebel Server, the Siebel Remote client reads parameters in the siebel.cfg configuration file. Before you use Siebel Remote, you must set the values for the configuration parameters. The Siebel installation utility creates a siebel.cfg file in the client BIN directory with default values for each configuration parameter.

   NREC uses the default settings for the Siebel Remote parameters in the client configuration file that are established during installation. For the NREC example, you do not set any remote preferences.
