Encrypted Passwords in Siebel Application Interface Profile Configuration

The AES algorithm encrypts passwords stored in the Siebel Application Interface profile with a 256-bit encryption key. Passwords are written in encrypted form when you configure the Siebel Application Interface profile. Values for the following parameters are subject to encryption in the Siebel Application Interface profile:

When an anonymous user password is used (during application login or anonymous browsing sessions), the encrypted password is decrypted and compared to the value stored for the database account (specified using the Anonymous User Name parameter).

The account and password are created using the standard Siebel database scripts, and must already exist in the Siebel database when you configure the Siebel Application Interface profile. If you change the password for this account after setting up your system, then you must update the password stored in the Siebel Application Interface profile. For information about changing encrypted passwords, see "Changing Encrypted Passwords Using the Siebel Management Console".
