Implementing Secure Login

This topic describes how to implement secure login. With secure login, the Siebel Web Engine transmits user credentials entered in a login form from the browser to the Web server using SSL or TLS; that is, over HTTPS.

Secure login can be implemented in the following authentication strategies:

• Security adapter authentication: database authentication
• Security adapter authentication: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI), or custom
• Web SSO authentication

For each Siebel application where you want to implement secure login, you set the value of the SecureLogin component parameter to TRUE. The following procedure demonstrates how to set this parameter for the Siebel Call Center application. To implement secure login, you must also have a certificate from a certificate authority on the Web server where you installed SWSE.

To implement secure login

1. Navigate to the Administration - Server Configuration screen, then the Servers view.
2. Select the Siebel Server of interest.
3. Click the Components view and select the component of interest. For example, select Call Center Object Manager (ENU) in a U.S. English deployment if you want to set secure login for the Siebel Call Center application.
4. Click the Parameters view and select the record for SecureLogin.
5. In the Value on Restart field, enter TRUE.
6. Restart the component to apply the change.
