About Siebel Web Services and Security


The Siebel Web UI DDK supports Siebel Authentication and Session Management SOAP headers, including Web single-sign on authentication. These security features are part of the Siebel Web Services framework and are summarized below:

  • Siebel Authentication and Session Management SOAP Headers. Custom Web applications invoke Siebel sessions by sending Web service requests to the Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE). Requests include Siebel Authentication and Session Management SOAP headers that can include user credentials for logging in and session information for reconnecting to established sessions.
  • Web Single Sign-On. Siebel Web Services support Web single sign-on deployment scenarios in which third-party applications handle authentication and then pass authentication information to the Siebel application. Once authenticated by the third-party application, users do not have to explicitly log in to the Siebel application.

For more information about general security topics, see Security Guide for Siebel Business Applications.

About Data Access Control

You can administer access control by associating responsibilities to business services and business service methods. The application is configured so that users, who access a Siebel application from a custom-built Web application user interface, have different levels of access to the Siebel database.

For details about administering access control for business services, see Security Guide for Siebel Business Applications.
