Siebel Business Applications have an open authentication architecture that integrates with your selected authentication infrastructure. Siebel Business Applications support these types of user authentication:
A database security adapter for database authentication
An LDAP or ADSI security adapter for LDAP or Active Directory authentication
Web Single Sign-On (SSO)
Custom security adapter
You can develop a custom security adapter using a security adapter SDK, which allows you to implement authentication using products such as RACF, CA-ACF2 or CA-TopSecret.
It is recommended that you implement LDAP or Active Directory authentication or Web SSO authentication. It is simpler to maintain these methods of authentication and to apply account policies to them. For a comparison of the benefits and disadvantages of the supported authentication mechanisms, see the chapter on security adapter authentication in Siebel Security Guide.
