Adding a Connected User to a Regional Node

This topic describes how to add a connected user to a regional node.

To add a connected user to a regional node

1. Make sure the user is a connected user at the headquarters node.

   You must add a user to the parent node before you add this user to a regional node. For more information, see Siebel Applications Administration Guide.

2. Locate the record for the regional database where you must add a remote client.

   For more information, see Locating the Record for the Regional Database.

3. In the Users field, click the select icon.

4. In the Database Users dialog box, choose a user from the Available list, and then click Add.

5. Repeat Step 3 through Step 4 for each connected user that you must add to the regional node.

   For more information, see Requirements for Adding a User to a Regional Node.

6. Click OK.

7. Save the record.

8. Create a user access account on the regional node.

   A user access account is a database account or other external folder service, such as LDAP. For more information, see Siebel Security Guide.

9. Optional. To add more connected users, repeat Step 1 through Step 8 for each connected user.

10. Wait to make sure Replication Manager copies the new user data to the regional node.

    Depending on your network and hardware configuration, this step might take a few hours to finish.
