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 41 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.

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.
