Configuring a Security Profile

When you configure the Siebel Gateway, you configure the first Security profile. You can use the same Security profile for Siebel Enterprise authentication, or create another Security profile for the Siebel Enterprise. To create another Security profile, use the procedure that follows. This task is part of Configuring the Siebel Gateway and Security.

This task is required for new installations. It is not required for migration installations of Siebel Enterprise Server from a previous release, because the migration installation task migrates the prior configuration. However, you might choose to create a new Security profile.
