Web Single Sign-On Implementation Considerations

The following are some implementation considerations for a Web SSO strategy:

• Users are authenticated independently of Siebel Business Applications, such as through a third-party authentication service or through the Web server.

• You must synchronize users in the authentication system and users in the Siebel database at the Web site level.

• You must configure user administration functionality, such as self-registration, at the Web site level.

• A delegated administrator can add users to the Siebel database, but not to the authentication system.

• Siebel Business Applications support the standards-based Web SSO solutions that meet the requirements listed in Requirements for Standards-Based Web Single Sign-On.

Note: Implement Web SSO in a development environment before deploying it in a production environment.
