Authentication During Synchronization with Server Database
The Siebel Remote Synchronization Manager authenticates incoming Mobile Web Client requests to make sure that a Mobile Web Client is valid.
The Synchronization Manager validates the following information when a Mobile Web Client synchronizes with the server database:
Mobile Web Client name. Validates the Mobile Web Client's name against the list of valid Mobile Web Clients in the server database and validates that the effective end date is valid or NULL.
Application server. Verifies that the Mobile Web Client has connected to the correct Siebel Remote server. If the Mobile Web Client connects to the wrong Siebel Remote server, the Synchronization Manager reconnects the Mobile Web Client to another Siebel Remote server and updates the client's local configuration information.
Password. Validates the Mobile Web Client's password by using one of the following authentication methods, represented by the parameter name. The Siebel administrator specifies the password authentication method in the Siebel Server Component Parameters for Synchronization Manager, and in the appropriate CFG file located at the mobile client.
- None. Does not validate the Mobile Web Client's password. This is the default.
- Database. Uses the Mobile Web Client's user name and password to connect to the server database.
NOTE: You cannot use the Database authentication model if you have enabled password encryption. This would require the mobile user to use the encrypted password to log into the local database. For more information about password encryption, see Siebel Server Administration Guide.
- Siebel. Verifies that the password is the same password stored in a table in the server database.
- AppServer. Verifies that the password is the operating system password for the user on the application server.
