Siebel Mobile Connector Guide > Working with the Siebel Mobile Connector > Real-Time Access to Data > Authenticating UsersAuthentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user. The Siebel Mobile Connector uses the Siebel security adapter authentication architecture for authenticating Siebel application users to external partner applications. This architecture supports authentication to Microsoft Active Directory Server and LDAP-compliant directories. Additionally, partners may also create their own authentication mechanism by writing to the Siebel Security Adapter API. For more information, search for Security Adapter SDK on My Oracle Support. Partner applications must log in to the Siebel Web Engine to instantiate a user session and must log out to terminate the session. A user's session is managed in SWE by using cookies or an authentication mode without cookies. Logging InLogging in to SWE is required to instantiate a new user session. The command ExecuteLogin is used to supply the user credentials and log in. The following is an example of how to construct a log in command by using an HTTP request.
Logging OffLogging off of SWE is required to terminate a new user session. The command Logoff is used to log off.
NOTE: There is a default time-out set by the SWE engine if no user action has taken place. Session ManagementWhen a user logs in to the Siebel Web Engine, SWE dynamically generates session cookies or uses an authentication mode without cookies. Cookies are generated by default and include a Session ID that is used to track the session. If cookies are disabled or if a user's browser does not support cookies, then the Session ID for each page is included in its URL. |
