White Paper Abstract:
This paper covers the deployment, management, and governance architecture of entitlement management, including its influencing factors. Although service-oriented architecture (SOA) is the context of discussion, all of the discussion and insights apply equally well to application environments that are not yet service-oriented. This paper does not cover messaging and interface standards such as Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), Extensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML), Web Services Security (WS-Security), Web Services Policy (WS-Policy), etc., or their usage in a SOA.
