About Siebel Portlet Authentication and Security Requirements

Siebel Open UI portlets must be configured differently depending on whether the application is hosted in HTTP and in HTTPS. The recommended configuration guidelines are as follows:

• HTTP. Implement SSO and access Siebel CRM over HTTP or HTTPS, depending on the requirement.

• HTTPS. Implement SSO and enable SSL for Siebel CRM.

Caution: You should never pass user IDs and passwords in the HTTP request to a Siebel portlet. Passing user IDs and passwords exposes authentication details to the end user.
