Using Industry Standards
Siebel eBusiness Applications adhere to common security standards to facilitate the integration of its applications into the customer environment. Siebel Systems is not a vendor of specific security components; instead, its applications are designed so that customers can choose a security infrastructure that best suits their specific business needs.
NOTE: For more information about third-party products supported or validated for use with Siebel eBusiness Applications, refer to System Requirements and Supported Platforms.
Supported standards include:
- SSL. Protection of Siebel eBusiness Applications by using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) capabilities of supported Web servers.
- LDAP/ADSI. Siebel Systems provides preconfigured integration with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and Active Directory Services Interface (ADSI). For more information, see Security Adapters for External Authentication.
- RSA. Communication between Siebel components can be encrypted using RSA encryption algorithms.
- For supported Windows platforms, Siebel Systems supports Microsoft Crypto.
- For supported UNIX platforms or cross-platform environments, Siebel Systems supports RSA BSAFE. RSA BSAFE is FIPS 140-1 certified.
NOTE: If the Siebel Server and the Web server are installed on the same machine running Microsoft Windows, then you cannot use Microsoft Crypto. You can use it only when these components run on different Microsoft Windows machines.
- X.509. Siebel applications use the SSL capabilities of supported Web servers to enable authentication based on X.509 client certificates.
To augment the security of your Siebel applications deployment, Siebel Systems has alliances with other leading security providers. Providers are listed as security software partners in the Alliances section of the Siebel Web page.
