Migrating from Database to LDAP Authentication

The steps to migrate a Siebel application from database authentication to LDAP authentication are outlined in Process of Implementing LDAP Security Adapter Authentication. In addition, you must perform the following steps:

1. Migrate your users from the Siebel database to the external directory server; create an entry in the external directory for each user to be authenticated.

2. (Optional) Archive any Siebel user database accounts that are not required for LDAP authentication from the Siebel database. Do not archive the following database accounts:

   • The default Siebel administrator account, SYSADMIN.

   • The default database account, for example, LDAPUSER, that is used by Siebel LDAP security adapter to connect to the Siebel database.
