About Authentication for Siebel Gateway Access

The Siebel Gateway registry serves as the dynamic registry for Siebel servers and components. The gateway provides startup information to the application servers and, if compromised, could propagate changes throughout the server environment. To prevent unauthorized changes to the enterprise configuration parameters on the gateway, user access to the gateway is authenticated. Authentication is not implemented for starting the gateway, only for connecting to it.

Siebel Gateway authorization is required whether you use the Siebel Management Console, Siebel Server Manager, or other utilities to access the gateway. In each case, you must specify a valid gateway authentication user name and password. For information on the gateway authentication credentials, see About Siebel Gateway Authentication Password.
