Siebel Analytics Server Administration Guide > Security in Siebel Analytics > Authentication Options > Database AuthenticationThe Siebel Analytics Server can authenticate users through database logons. If a user has read permission on a specified database, the user will be trusted by the Siebel Analytics Server. Unlike operating system authentication, this authentication can be applied to Siebel Analytics Web users. NOTE: Siebel Delivers does not work with database authentication. Database authentication can be used in conjunction with external table authentication. If external table authentication succeeds, then database authentication is not performed. If external table authentication fails, then database authentication is performed. See External Table Authentication and Order of Authentication for additional details. Database authentication requires the user ID to be stored in the Siebel Analytics Server repository. To use database authentication
When a user attempts to log on to the Siebel Analytics Server, the server attempts to use the logon name and password to connect to the authentication database, using the first connection pool associated with it. If this connection succeeds, the user is considered to be authenticated successfully. If the logon is denied, the Siebel Analytics Server issues a message to the user indicating an invalid user ID or password. |
