Securing the Siebel Reports Environment

Siebel CRM uses Oracle BI Publisher to generate Siebel reports. In a disconnected Siebel Reports environment, user authentication mechanisms are not required.

In the Siebel Reports connected environment, Oracle BI Publisher is installed separately from Siebel CRM and access to the BI Publisher Server is authenticated. To authenticate user access to the BI Publisher Server in a Siebel Reports connected environment, you can implement one of the following:

  • Siebel Security Model. This model provides authentication using the EAI Application Object Manager.

  • LDAP security model. This model provides authentication against a directory.

For information on the methods available to authenticate user access to the BI Publisher Server in a Siebel Reports connected environment, see Siebel Reports Guide and 1501378.1 (Article ID) on My Oracle Support.
