Siebel Security Adapters and the Siebel Dedicated Web Client

---

The Siebel Dedicated Web Client relocates business logic from the Siebel Server to the client. The authentication architecture for the Siebel Dedicated Web Client differs from the authentication architecture for the standard Web Client, because it locates the following components on the client instead of the Siebel Server:

Application Object Managers
Application configuration files
Authentication manager

When you configure a particular application to implement external authentication, you must observe the following principles to include Siebel Dedicated Web Clients:

It is strongly recommended that you use the remote configuration option so that all clients use the same configuration settings. Alternatively, make sure that authentication parameters in the application configuration files on client machines contain the same values as the corresponding application configuration files on Siebel Servers. Distribute appropriate configuration files to Siebel Dedicated Web Client users.

For information about setting parameters in Siebel application configuration files on both the Siebel Server and the Siebel Dedicated Web Client, see Siebel Application Configuration File Parameters.

For information about remote configuration, see Remote Configuration.

It is strongly recommended that you use checksum validation to make sure that the appropriate security adapter provides user credentials to the authentication manager for all users who request access.

For information about checksum validation, see Checksum Validation.

In a security adapter authentication implementation, you must set Siebel system preferences if you want to implement:
Security adapter authentication of Siebel Dedicated Web Client users
Propagation of user data from the Siebel Dedicated Web Client to the directory

For information about setting authentication-related Siebel system preferences, see System Preferences.

For more information about the Siebel Dedicated Web Client, see Siebel Web Client Administration Guide.
