This presentation focuses on issues related to identity and access management as traditional enterprises move into an extended enterprise model, based on SOA concepts. Usually the resulting architectures are a mix of eBusiness portals with an enterprise internal SOA and a strong and inflexible set of legacy components. As a consequence, identities must be managed across all domains and legal/regulatory requirements adhered to. Although solutions exist for most parts of the overall puzzle, the resulting architecture presents considerable challenges for governance and operations.
Philips have conducted a pilot project together with CGI that involves some out of the box thinking and which we hope will result in a greatly simplified but generalizable solution for these issues. The presentation will explain the architecture and present the results of the pilot to date.
