Web Single Sign-On Limitations

In Web SSO deployments, user authentication and user management are the responsibility of the third-party security infrastructure. As a result, certain capabilities are not available, as Siebel Business Applications features, in a Web SSO environment.

In a Web SSO environment, the following features are not available:

• User self-registration

• Delegated administration of users

• Login forms

• Logout links or the Log Out menu item in the File application-level menu

• Change password feature (in Profile view of User Preferences screen)

• Anonymous browsing

Access to Siebel administration and configuration views is also not available with an Application Object Manager configured for Web SSO authentication.

Verify that functionality you require does not rely on the capabilities in the previous list before you attempt to deploy such functionality in a Web SSO environment. For example, the Siebel eSales - Checkout Process workflow and user registration both make use of login forms.

Your Siebel Business Applications might require configuration changes to hide the capabilities in the previous list. For information on hiding or disabling the capabilities listed, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications. For information about logging out of a Web SSO environment, see Logging Out of a Siebel Application.
