Using Local Database Credentials to Automatically Synchronize

The user can use local database credentials that Siebel Remote sends automatically as part of a synchronization request. The local database password must be identical to the valid synchronization password. If synchronization uses the local database credentials, and if these credentials are valid synchronization credentials, then Siebel Remote does not prompt the user to enter credentials during synchronization.

For more information about:

• Setting the authentication method for synchronization, see Parameters of the Synchronization Manager Server Component.

• Setting the local database password, see Setting the Local Database Password.

To use local database credentials to automatically synchronize

1. Log in to the remote client.

2. Navigate to the User Preferences screen, and then the DB Synchronization view.

3. In the DB Synchronization form, make sure the Use Local Credentials check box contains a check mark, and then click Save.

   If entries exist in the User ID field, Password field, or the Remember Credentials field, then Siebel Remote removes them.

To discontinue use of the local database credentials to automatically synchronize, make sure the Use Local Credentials check box in the DB Synchronization form does not contain a check mark.
