Storing Shared Database Account Credentials as Profile Parameters

This topic describes how to configure a shared database account for an LDAP directory and how to store the database credentials for the account as parameters of the LDAP Security Adapter profile.

It is recommended that you store shared database account credentials as profile parameters unless you have to store more than one set of database credentials, as only one set of database credentials can be stored as profile parameters.

To store shared database credentials as profile parameters

1. Navigate to the Administration - Server Configuration screen, Enterprises, and then the Profile Configuration view.

2. Select the LDAPSecAdpt profile.

3. Configure the parameters shown in the following table for the LDAPSecAdpt profile.

   Parameter	Value
   Shared DB User Name	Enter the user name to connect to the Siebel database.
   Shared DB Password	Enter the password to connect to the Siebel database

   Note: You must specify a valid Siebel user name and password for the Shared DB User Name and Shared DB Password parameters. For more information about setting these parameters, see Parameters for Configuring Security Adapter Authentication.
