Secure Adapter Communications

---

This option can be implemented in the following authentication strategies:

Siebel security adapter authentication
Web SSO

You can encrypt the communications between the Siebel LDAP or ADSI security adapter and the directory using SSL. The setup you must do differs depending on whether you implement the Siebel LDAP adapter or the Siebel ADSI adapter.

To implement SSL for the Siebel LDAP security adapter

Set the SslDatabase parameter value in the application's configuration file to the absolute path of a Sun ONE cert7.db file that contains a certificate for the certificate authority that is used by the LDAP server.

To implement SSL for the Siebel ADSI security adapter

You must set up an enterprise certificate authority in your domain.
Set up the public key policy so that the Active Directory Server automatically demands a certificate from that certificate authority.
Set the UseSsl parameter value to TRUE in the application's configuration file.

For information about setting Siebel application configuration file parameters, see Siebel Application Configuration File Parameters.

Secure Adapter Communications is discussed in a usage context in Security Adapter Deployment Options.
