About Service Discovery Initiated by Trusted and Untrusted Sources in Siebel Application Interface

External untrusted connect string URLs should not be used for production loads, testing loads, or to identify if Siebel Cloud Gateway is running. Using external URLs causes a significant increase in load on the database. Performance will differ significantly between a service discovery request triggered by Siebel Application Interface and an external call coming through the UI, REST UI, or SOAP interface.

The paths taken by trusted and untrusted requests are:

• Trusted Source. This is where service discovery is initiated by Siebel Application Interface.

  In this scenario, there is no userID/password based authentication at the gateway.

• Untrusted Source. This is where service discovery is initiated by the end-user client or browser.

  In this scenario, there is userID/password based authentication at the gateway. This is required to access the application interface and Siebel application.
