This post is the contribution by Sachin Mittal. He has shared a document which beautifully explains on how to create a Symbolic URL in Siebel to display external webpage. Thanks Sachin.
I have been very busy with my professional and personal life. Sorry kept you disappointed. But I have managed to post one blog today about runtime events. Check it out. Thanks.
This is a nice collection about Symbolic URL.If the exterlink is www.mail.yahoo.com / siebel analytics application,then how to bypass siebel login and password to open ext.application home page.(witout entering login details)
Dont know about Yahoo, but there is definately a way to do it for Analytics because there is a feature to embed analytics reports in Siebel CRM. So there should be a way to do it. I am not aware of it. Let me know if you find it.
I would like share my approach with u for your comments.
I think we can enter into Siebel Analytics Application without entering login details by passing below arguments to symbolic URL?
nqUser- UseSiebelLoginId ; nqPassword- UseSiebelLoginPassword
But to implement this complete auto login solution,I think we need to do some more configurations at cfg file,eappas.cfg etc..I am working on it and will update once i am done. Your suggestions are most welcome on this subject.
By the way we dont want manually enable SSO(SINGLE SIGN ON) on our web server.I mean adding siebel users to SSO server etc..If we do this we can use auto login features.

Hi
Can you please let us know how to pass the username and password to the symbolic URL?
June 17th, 2011 at 2:17 pm
Seems to work, but (using www.google.com) I get:
405. That’s an error.
The request method POST is inappropriate for the URL /. That’s all we know.
