My understanding is that the Application User does not need to exist as a Siebel Employee / User record. However, if you’re using the same user name in eapps.cfg, then it does need to exist.

Have a look here for more information on the Application User.

The Anonymous User does need to exist as an Employee / User.

I have a question regarding user ids set up in the application. In the parameter values, you have specified

Application User DN An AD user that has the ability to add and modify existing objects CN=ADSIUSER, OU=USERS, DC=INTRA, DC=MYCO, DC=LOCAL

I understand that an entry for ADSIUSER & anonymous user id (eapps.cfg) are set up in the active directory.

Do we have to create a user record in the siebel application for ADSIUSER?
Also, do we need to create a user record for anonymous user id which we specify in the eapps.cfg?

Thanks
