Siebel Analytics Server Internal Authentication

You can maintain lists of users and their passwords in the Siebel Analytics Server repository using the Administration Tool. The Siebel Analytics Server will attempt to authenticate users against this list when they log on unless another authentication method has already succeeded, or database authentication has been specified in the NQSConfig.INI file.

See Order of Authentication for additional information.

Siebel Analytics Server User IDs and Passwords

The Siebel Analytics Server user IDs are stored in nonencrypted form in a Siebel Analytics Server repository and are case-insensitive. Passwords are stored in encrypted form and are case-sensitive. The Siebel Analytics Server user IDs can be used to access any business model in a repository provided that the users have the necessary access privileges. User IDs are valid only for the repository in which they are set up. They do not span multiple repositories.

NOTE:  If you are using LDAP or external table authentication, passwords are not stored in the Siebel Analytics Server repository.
