Question

Siebel SSO and OAM, How do I resolve?

Asked by: thomasglafond

I'm trying to configure Siebel to operate in SSO mode using OAM (formerly oblix) as the authentication prompt.   Attached is the errors I am receiving.  I've expanded logs and logging but still cannot get it to work.  Please help.

You have 3 authentication modes in SIEBEL:
-Database : means the Login/Pwd is send to the DBMS platform to authenticate and Connect
-SecurityAdapter (LDAP/ADSI) : means the Login/Pwd is authenticated to a LDAP compliant tree and Connact to the DBMS using some properties in the [YourSecurityAdapter] section
-Integrated SSO : means that there are NO Login/Pwd as IIS-SWE "trust" the caller and init a HTTP variable allowing to identify the employee against S_USER.LOGIN and Connect to the DBMS using some properties in the [YourSecurityAdapter] section

The Security SDK allows to create a .dll (or .so on Unix) that handles the Siebel Security API (look at the Security SDK to understand those simple API)


Logging happens at many steps:
-IIS : you may learn some info on those logs (notably if IIS is in its "Integrated Authentication" mode tio authenticate a user automatically against his Domain/ADSI)
-SWE : you may offer us some more detailed logging (see env variable to raise logging level up to 5 on the SWE server)
-AOM : if you have NO object manager LOG, this means the problem is located at the SWE

Did you better understand the SIEBEL SSO feature ?

Do you need more help ?

 

by: thomasglafondPosted on 2009-11-10 at 10:15:30ID: 25788064

I read the manual. I understand how SSO is supposed to work.  I took all the sysnapi logs up to 5.  I reviewed again and again what I believe the settings to be.  The error doesn't change.  The expanded logs don't tell me what the issue.  All I get is the message as stated.  It's not very much to work with.  The issue is not solved.

Regarding applications releases :
-min OAM is 10.1.4.0.1
-min SIEBEL is 7.8

Although did read that ?
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10761_01/doc/oam.1014/e10356/siebel.htm#Siebel

Then what are your current parameters:
-for the URL : is the IIS virtual directory used a protected one or not ? if it's protected, how are the autorizations defined ?
-for the SWEApps cfg : can you post here the usefull part of this cfg ?
-for the SIEBEL AOM parameters : did you set those in the Gateway (siebns.dat) through admin screens or srvmgr.exe console ?

Do you have any LOG issued from the SIEBEL AOM which is the one which handles the SIEBEL session ?
