Login Security Features

This topic describes features and considerations associated with the user login process for Siebel Business Applications. A login page or a login form embedded in a Siebel application page collects user credentials.

NOTE:  You cannot log into a Siebel application by presenting user credentials as parameters in a URL.

A user must log in, thereby identifying himself or herself as a registered user, to access protected views in Siebel Business Applications. Protected views are designated for explicit login. Views that are not designated for explicit login are available for anonymous browsing, if the Siebel application allows anonymous browsing. For information about anonymous browsing, see Configuring the Anonymous User.

Siebel Business Applications also provide other features on a login form besides user credentials collection, such as remembering a username and providing forgotten password support. For information on these features, see the following topics:

• Implementing Secure Login
• Logging Out of a Siebel Application
• Login User Names and Passwords
• Account Policies and Password Expiration
