Connecting Siebel Server to Business Intelligence Presentation Server

For segmentation and list generation, you must connect the Siebel Marketing operational application on the Enterprise Siebel Server to Oracle Business Intelligence Presentation Server. To connect to Oracle Business Intelligence Presentation Server, you must change the User ID and Password fields to the default login for the Oracle Business Intelligence Presentation Server that you plan to use. This login is the user ID that is used to authenticate requests to the Marketing module.

You must perform this setup to make sure that Siebel Server can communicate to Oracle Business Intelligence Server during program and campaign design, campaign load, list generation, and campaign launch. For example, when a user submits a request for campaign load or list generation, the requests to the Marketing module use this login for impersonation when the user's password is unavailable.

Impersonation is used to authenticate a user, allowing access to Oracle Business Intelligence Presentation Server when the user's password is unavailable. The default login is used to authenticate and create a session, and then the login ID is changed to the user ID of the person who submitted the request. Impersonation is essential to enforce appropriate visibility to Oracle Business Intelligence Web catalog objects, Business Intelligence metadata, and actual user data from various data sources, based on the User ID of the person who submitted the request.

NOTE:  Passwords are encrypted for new server records. To encrypt the password for existing server records, select the record and reenter the password.
