Configure the sign in credentials for the Siebel

The Siebel adapter requires the adapter clients to provide client credentials. The adapter uses these credentials to authenticate the user with the Siebel system and to establish a connection.

Adapter clients can provide the client credentials either at design time or run time. At design time, credentials are required to generate the metadata. At run time, credentials are required to perform operations on the Siebel system. This section provides information about specifying client credentials at design time and run time.
