About the Security Framework for Siebel Self Service

To establish a secured application security framework, you determine the application functionality and data content that apply to public access and the application functionality and data content that apply to registered customers. To protect privacy and avoid conflicts, you must authenticate registered customers and control the data and application functionality each authenticated customer can access. For more information, see About Authentication for Siebel Self Service and Access Control for Siebel Self Service.

You typically consider the following issues when you set up a security framework:

• Anonymous use. Set up the Siebel Self Service Web site to allow nonregistered customers limited access.
• Registration. Set up a means to allow nonregistered customers to register on the Siebel Self Service Web site.
• Authentication. Set up a means to store and then authenticate the user name and password of the registered customers.
• Access control. Set up a means to control customer access to views and data on the Web site.
