Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)/Active Directory Services Interfaces (ADSI)

LDAP directories can run on a different server than the Siebel Server or the Web server. The LDAP servers listed in Table 12 are supported with full password management and error messaging functionality.

Other directory servers are supported if they meet the following conditions:

• They comply with the LDAP 3.0 standard
• Password handling is not required (password expiry and other password-messaging features)

Examples of LDAP 3.0 integrations would be customers who are implementing SSO via Oracle Access Manager or similar third-party products. Vendors who provide directory server products that support the LDAP 3.0 standard include Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, and Novell.

NOTE:  Oracle Access Manager 11.1.1.5.0 is supported with Siebel applications version 8.0, but the system administration screens are not available through the GUI when single-sign on is enabled. The system administration screens are only available through the command line.

Active Directory typically runs on a different server than the Siebel Server or the Web server. Siebel applications support any version of Active Directory that is compliant with the Siebel Server Windows platform, such as Active Directories available on Microsoft Windows.
