Security Profile Configuration

The security profile, which is centrally stored in the registry, contains the configuration parameters that determine how access to Siebel Gateway is authenticated. When a user attempts to log in to the gateway, the user’s credentials are passed by the server to the authentication provider specified in the security profile, which checks that the user has the required administrator privileges to access the gateway. If it has, the gateway starts to process service requests.

Note: Authentication is not required for starting the gateway, only for connecting to it.

You configure the security profile using the Siebel Management Console. For more information on the authentication configuration parameters that you must set for the gateway, see Configuring Security Adapters Using the Siebel Management Console and Parameters for Configuring Security Adapter Authentication.
