Requirements for the Example Windows Integrated Authentication Environment

This topic outlines the requirements for implementing the Web SSO authentication environment described in Process of Implementing Windows Integrated Authentication.

This task is a step in Process of Implementing Windows Integrated Authentication.

The following requirements must be met before setting up the example Windows Integrated Authentication environment:

• Microsoft IIS Web Server is deployed on Microsoft Windows. The Microsoft IIS Web Server functions as the authentication service.
• The Active Directory server and the Web server are installed on different computers. The Active Directory functions as a directory of users for the following functions:
  • Authenticates Web server users.
  • Provides the Siebel user ID and the database account for authenticated Web server users.
• The ADSI security adapter communicates between the authentication manager and the Active Directory.
• Siebel Business Applications, including the Siebel Gateway Name Server and the Siebel Server, are installed. The Siebel Server, including affected Application Object Managers, is installed on the Web server computer.

  NOTE:  These instructions are for a minimal, baseline configuration. In a production environment, it is not recommended to install the Siebel Server on the same computer as the Web server.

• If you use a non-Siebel security adapter, it must support the Siebel Security Adapter Software Developers Kit, described in Security Adapter SDK. You must adapt the applicable parts of the implementation to your security adapter.
• You are experienced with administering Active Directory and can perform tasks such as creating and modifying user storage subdirectories, creating attributes, and creating and providing privileges to users.
