Critical Path
Identity Management Standards: the Critical Foundation
for Managing the Web Services Environment in the Enterprise
As Web services causes security and identity boundaries
to evolve and interact in new and complex ways, directory services and
identity management systems must advance to manage this increasingly complex
environment. To successfully deploy Web services, the data networks that
form the core of these deployments must become integrated. This level
of interoperability will require the types of new functionality promised
by emerging XML based standards such as DSML, SAML, WSDL, and UDDI. This
session will review these standards and suggest development strategies
for building integrated identity management systems that will enable the
rapid deployment of Web services. Attendees will learn about the key factors
that will differentiate directory services and identity management in
the future, including scalability, interoperability with legacy applications,
the ability to run seamlessly within web services frameworks such as SunOne/J2EE
or .Net, and the ability to provide highly available security, provisioning,
self service, delegated administration and other advanced identity management
services.
