About Web Services Security Support

Siebel Systems endorses the industry standard known as the WS-Security specification. The WS-Security specification is a Web Services standard that supports, integrates, and unifies multiple security models and technologies, allowing a variety of systems to interoperate in a platform- and language-independent environment. Release 7.7 introduces support for the UserName Token mechanism of the WS-Security specification, which allows Siebel applications to send and receive user credentials in a standards-compliant manner.

By conforming to industry standard Web Service and security specifications, secure cross-enterprise business processes is supported. You can deploy standards-based technology solutions to solve specific business integration problems.
