Configuring Customer Authentication Manager to Handle More Fields

By default Customer Authentication Manager is configured to handle only a maximum of three fields. To use more than three fields in Customer Authentication Manager, you must add more virtual fields to the authentication business component, and expose them through the appropriate applet.

To configure Authentication Manager to handle more fields

1. Log into Siebel Web Tools and create a workspace in which to make your changes. For more information about workspaces, see Using Siebel Tools.
2. Navigate to the FINS Authentication Manager UI business component.

   The following fields are defined for the business component:

   • Field0, Field1 and Field2
   • Required Flag0, Required Flag1, and Required Flag2
   • Ten confirmed flag fields
3. Define a new field called FieldNN (for example, Field3, Field 4, ... Field10). Mark it as a Calculated Field.
4. Define a new field called Required FlagNN (for example, Required Flag3, Required Flag4, Required Flag10.). Mark it as a Calculated Field.
5. Add a new confirmed flag field if you have more than 10 authentication fields (since there are ten already defined). It must be named Confirm FlagNN where NN is some value matching the fields created in Step 3 andStep 4. Mark it as a Calculated Field
6. Navigate to the FINS Authentication Manager Popup Form Applet.
7. Open the Control object type under this applet and add the new fields: FieldNN and Required FlagNN.
8. Add a Confirmed FlagNN field if you have more than five authentication fields. (The applet already contains five confirmed flag fields).
9. Add the fields and corresponding labels to the applet templates.
10. Test your changes.
11. Submit the workspace for delivery and publish it. For more information on workspaces, see Using Siebel Tools Guide.
