SOA authorization using Tivoli Federated Identity Manager and WebSphere Service Registry and Repository

Another article I co-authored has gone live on IBM developerWorks.

SOA authorization using Tivoli Federated Identity Manager and WebSphere Service Registry and Repository

 This article describes a service-based approach to authorization in Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) environments using IBM® Tivoli® Federated Identity Manager (TFIM). This approach extends existing IBM solutions for identity propagation in SOA by leveraging Tivoli Access Manager (TAM) as the authorization policy decision point. A software utility to discover services from the IBM WebSphere® Service Registry and Repository (WSRR) to enable the authorization solution will be provided to simplify and accelerate deployment of this authorization solution.

The primary piece of development for this article was the automation of extracting WSDLs from WSRR, then using the WSDL2TAM tool from TFIM to populate the TAM object space.
