About Protecting User Names and Passwords for SAI for Oracle Fusion Middleware

For SAI for Oracle Fusion Middleware, you use credential mapping to protect Enterprise Information System (EIS) user names and passwords that make the initial connection pool to the Siebel Server. You configure credential mapping for SAI for Oracle Fusion Middleware by way of the Resource Adapter Descriptor Parameters in the Deployment wizard. If your deployment supports one of the following options, then do the following:

• B2C (Business-to-Customer). Provide the user name under the Siebel Server Parameters tab.
• B2B (Business-to-Business). Provide the B2B user name under the Siebel Server Parameters tab.

The names that you provide are used in the credential map to create the initial connection to the Siebel Server. The same credential map is also used to create new connections if the existing connections are busy. Oracle WebLogic Server refers to the ra.xml file and searches for the appropriate user name to create the new connections to the Siebel Server. For information on configuring credential mapping for SAI for Oracle Fusion Middleware, see Process of Configuring Credential Mapping for SAI for Oracle Fusion Middleware.

NOTE:  By default, Oracle WebLogic Server deployment parameters are set to zero initial connections. Because you can create credential mapping only after a resource adapter is deployed, you must increase this initial connection capacity to greater than zero. That way, Oracle WebLogic Server uses the Siebel Server user name and password settings from the credential map to create the connections.
