Architecting Identity Across SOA Boundaries
Most current identity management approaches consider solutions from the perspective of perimeter security technology based tokens , focused on authentication and authorisation operations. Yet most enterprise identity initiatives also have to come to terms with commerce transactions that touch on other aspects of Identity: associations with Orders, relationship to CRM attributes, and links with Accounts all typically layered according to SOA principles.

Using project-based case studies, this session will explore the challenges of Identity Management in a contemporary, distributed SOA environment: how you balance the needs of authenticating identity for legislative/ policy reasons, authorise according to commercial entitlements, while maintaining common (consolidated) data and consistent interfaces across access control, commerce and account/ transaction management systems. It will evaluate the (sometimes conflicting) solutions perspectives of security systems versus commerce systems when integrated according to services oriented dictates and explore how and whether - evolving frameworks such as the Liberty Project might address integration through common semantic and technological approaches.
