Configuring the Siebel Web Server Extension logical profile

The web server with the Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE) plays a vital role in the Siebel web architecture. Because multiple web servers—and therefore instances of the SWSE connecting to the same Siebel Enterprise—might exist, the basic configuration information is stored as a logical profile on a network location. The logical profile contains information such as the Siebel Enterprise name, port numbers, and anonymous user accounts, which will be written into the local configuration files of the SWSE at a later stage in the Siebel installation process.

In order to create the SWSE logical profile, we employ the Siebel Configuration Wizard again and launch the Siebel Enterprise configuration from the Windows start menu.

The following table provides details on the Configuration Wizard's dialogs. As the SWSE configuration includes very specific parameters, a brief explanation of these settings will be given at the end of this section.
