Lightweight Directory Access Protocol and Active Directory Services Interfaces

LDAP directories can run on a different server than the Siebel Server or the Web server. The LDAP servers listed in Table 31 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)

An example of a LDAP 3.0 integration would be if you were 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.

Oracle provides Active Directory support that requires the native connector shipped with the operating systems that are supported for Siebel applications on Microsoft Windows servers. Siebel Active Directory support is limited to specific active directory connectors based on the operating systems listed in Table 5. You may use the AD connector to connect with any Active Directory schemas that are deemed compatible by Microsoft.

Siebel Business Applications also support Oracle Access Manager for SSO authentication using LDAP. For more information about versions, see Table 31. For more information about LDAP or ADSI, see Siebel Security Guide.
