Using the Remember Credentials Feature to Automatically Synchronize

The user can configure Siebel Remote to remember the synchronization credentials. For example, if the user modifies the local database password so that it is different from the valid synchronization password, then it is useful to remember the synchronization credentials. If the user sets synchronization to use the local database credentials, then the option to remember the synchronization credentials is not available.

If Siebel Remote remembers synchronization credentials, then it does not prompt the user for credentials during synchronization.

Caution: If the user does not configure Siebel Remote to remember the synchronization password, or if you do not configure Siebel Remote to automatically use the local database credentials to synchronize, then Siebel Remote prompts the user to manually enter credentials during each synchronization.

To use the remember credentials feature 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 Remember Credentials check box contains a check mark.

4. Enter the User ID.

5. In the Password field, enter the synchronization password that you assign on the Siebel Server.

6. Make sure the Use Local Credentials check box does not contain a check mark.

7. Click Save.
