Validating the User Credentials

If the Authentication Method parameter of the Synchronization Manager is not set to None, then the Synchronization Manager validates the authentication credentials for synchronization with the remote client. The authentication credentials that Siebel Remote uses depends on when the user attempts to synchronize:

  • User synchronizes before Siebel Remote initializes the local database. Siebel Remote uses the user ID and password that the user provides during the login.

  • User synchronizes after Siebel Remote initializes the local database. Siebel Remote uses the user ID and password from the DB Synchronization view of the User Preferences screen on the remote client.

The authentication method is a Synchronization Manager parameter that identifies the type of authentication that Siebel Remote uses during synchronization. For more information, see Parameters of the Synchronization Manager Server Component.
