To make sure that only authorized users can make changes to the enterprise configuration parameters on Siebel Gateway, users connecting to the gateway must supply a valid authentication user name and password. Authentication user name and password values are verified by the security adapter specified for Siebel Gateway. The security adapter can be one of the following: database, LDAP, or custom.
The user account you use for Siebel Gateway authentication must have the same privileges as the Siebel administrator account created during the Siebel installation process; these privileges are required to connect to the gateway.
You can choose to use the Siebel administrator account for Siebel Gateway authentication, or you can create a new database user account, ensuring you assign it the same level of rights and privileges as the Siebel administrator account. If you are using an LDAP or a custom security adapter, then you must also add the gateway authentication user name and password to the directory server.
You can change the Siebel Gateway authentication password at any point by changing the password for the gateway authentication account in the database and in the LDAP directory (if you are using LDAP authentication). For more information, refer to your RDBMS documentation or your directory server documentation. For more information on gateway authentication, see "About Authentication for Siebel Gateway Access" and Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.
When using any of the Siebel utilities that connect to Siebel Gateway, for example the srvrmgr utility, you must specify the gateway authentication user name and password.
You can pass the gateway authentication user name and password in the command line as command flags, for example:
srvrmgr /g gateway1 /e enterprise1 /s server1 /u username /p password (Windows)
srvrmgr -g gateway1 -e enterprise1 -s server1 -u username -p password (UNIX)
where:
username is a valid user name that has been assigned Siebel administrator privileges
password is the password associated with username
You must enter a value for the /u username or -u username flag. If you do not specify a value for the /p password or -p password flag, then you are prompted for this value when you submit the command.
