Even if you implement a shared database account with external directory authentication, the shared database account cannot be used for any user who requires administrator access to Siebel Business Applications functionality, for example, any user who has to perform Siebel Server management and configuration tasks. For these users, you must either:
Create a separate database account.
The database account user ID and password you create for the user must match the user ID and password specified for the user in the external directory.
Or, do the following:
Implement LDAP authentication for the gateway.
Create a user account record in the directory for the user requiring administrator access.
In the attribute of the record that is used to store role information, specify the user role that is required to access the gateway: Siebel Administrator is the default role.
The following topics describe in more detail how the LDAP server uses the shared database account option.
