Security Adapters for LDAP Authentication

For employee or customer applications, Siebel CRM includes a preconfigured security adapter interface to allow organizations to externalize credential verification in an LDAP-compliant directory. The interface connects to a security adapter, which contains the logic to validate credentials to a specific authentication service.

Note: The exact valid character set for a Siebel user name and password depends on the underlying authentication system. For LDAP authentication, refer to the documentation from your vendor.

Siebel customers can therefore verify user credentials with security standards such as LDAP.

Siebel CRM provides security adapters for leading authentication services.

LDAP security adapter integration is supported for directory servers that are compliant with the LDAP 3.0 standard.

For information about third-party LDAP directory servers supported or validated for use with Siebel CRM, see Directory Servers Supported by Siebel CRM. You can also build security adapters to support a variety of authentication technologies. For information on custom security adapters, see Security Adapter SDK.
