This topic describes how to implement database authentication. Database authentication is typically implemented for a Siebel employee application, such as Siebel Call Center or Siebel Sales.

When creating a profile using Siebel Management Console, the database security adapter is selected by default, indicating to use database authentication, but you can change this and select to use an LDAP or a custom security adapter as required.

Note: It is strongly recommended that you use TLS for database authentication.
