About Authentication for Mobile Web Client Synchronization

This topic describes some of the processing that occurs to authenticate a remote user during synchronization. For detailed information about the synchronization process, see Siebel Remote and Replication Manager Administration Guide.

The following facts apply to Siebel Remote and remote users:

• Remote users do not connect to the Web server.

  When remote users synchronize, they connect directly from the Siebel Mobile Web Client to the Siebel Remote server, that is, the Siebel Server designated to support synchronization with remote users.

• Only one user ID and password can be used to access a local database. Local databases cannot belong to more than one user.

• A single user can have multiple Mobile Web Clients, such as two clients on two separate computers.
