Entitlement Management

Intel and Axiomatics have published a white paper outlining a joint conceptual solution combining the Intel SOA Expressway appliance and Axiomatics Policy Server. Together these products enable SOA governance and Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) to be retrofitted to already deployed services. Deployment of new services will thereafter also become more cost-efficient. Intel SOA Expressway is a soft-appliance deployed to address common XML and SOA problem areas such as acceleration, security, service mediation and service governance. Axiomatics Policy Server implements the complete XACML 2.0 and 3.0 specifications consistently which means it not only handles XACML request/response but also maintains its policy store according to the XACML specification. In the joint solution, the Intel SOA Expressway is used as a versatile XACML Policy Enforcement Point in relation to Axiomatics Policy Server. This approach offers a wide range of advantages which are being discussed in more detail in the Intel-Axiomatics white paper. The white paper can be downloaded from the resources section of the Axiomatics web site (http://www.axiomatics.com/resources.html) or from the dedicated Intel SOA Expressway web site, www.comparedatapower.com.
