Configuring Single Sign-On with a Database Security Adapter

As of Siebel CRM 20.10 Update, you can use a database security adapter in Single Sign-On (SSO) mode without LDAP. Prior to Siebel CRM 20.10, you could only use an LDAP security adapter for SSO. The tasks involved in configuring a database security adapter to support SSO are as follows:

  1. Creating Siebel Gateway Security Profile with Database Authentication Advanced Mode
    1. Enabling JDBC Over TLS - this is a prerequisite to configuring SSO with a database security adapter, where an encrypted database connection (over TLS) is required for a secure production environment.

  2. Configuring Object Manager's Database Security Adapter in Advanced Mode

Using database authentication without SSO is not recommended for production environments.
