Example of Configuring Security and Authentication for Siebel Reports Using LDAP

This topic gives one example of an LDAP directory configuration that can be used for a Siebel application to Oracle Publisher integration. You might use this feature differently, depending on your business model.

Note: Make sure you have configured both the Siebel application and Oracle Publisher so that both are pointing to the appropriate LDAP directory.

To configure security and authentication for Siebel Reports using LDAP

  1. In the Siebel application, add the following responsibilities:

    • XMLP_ADMIN_USER

    • XMLP_DEVELOPER_USER

    • XMLP_SCHEDULER_USER

  2. In the LDAP server, create the following six groups:

    • XMLP_ADMIN

    • XMLP_DEVELOPER

    • SIEBEL_DEV

    • SIEBEL_ADMIN

    • SIEBEL_SCHEDULER

    • XMLP_SCHEDULER

  3. Associate members to the groups.

  4. Associate the LDAP users to relevant members.

These tasks ensure that when Oracle Publisher Server authenticates with the LDAP directory, the correct roles are used for each user and limits the reporting actions that a user can perform.
