Siebel Connector

The Siebel Connector lets you manage user accounts on Siebel machines and provides a single point for all user administration by letting you do the following:

• Retrieve the existing user accounts (users, employees) positions, and responsibilities, organizations, internal divisions and views from a Siebel server. Entities from lists of values (LOV) are also retrieved; this happens only when LOV values are used in custom user account mapping.
• Display properties of each of these components
• Create and modify user accounts (users, employees).
• Associate user accounts with responsibilities
• Associate user accounts with positions
• Associate user accounts with organizations
• Remove associations between user accounts and responsibilities
• Remove associations between user accounts and organizations
• Remove associations between user accounts and positions
• Delete a user account. Since deletion of a user in Siebel is not recommended, CA Identity Manager lets you choose from the following behaviors:
  • Do nothing. Deletion is ignored. A user account disappears from CA Identity Manager but remains intact in Siebel.
  • Simulate suspension. CA Identity Manager changes the Siebel user's password and removes all user responsibilities (if possible, with used custom mapping and Siebel configuration).
  • Delete. CA Identity Manager deletes a user in Siebel. This is not recommended. A user ID (login name) of a deleted account can no longer be used in Siebel.
• Simulate user account suspension/resumption by removing/restoring user’s responsibilities.
• Create, modify, and delete positions.
• Create, modify, and delete responsibilities.
• Associate responsibilities with views
• Associate responsibilities with organizations
• Remove associations between responsibilities and views
• Remove associations between responsibilities and organizations
• Create, modify, and delete internal divisions.
• Map up to 20 fields of a Siebel user to Identity Manager capability attributes
• Map up to 10 fields of exposed Siebel objects other than users, to Identity Manager attributes

Note: The Siebel Connector supports Siebel 7.5, 7.7, and higher.
