Without identity management, Web services can be consumed by anyone.
The challenge for Web services developers is to provide appropriate
access based on the user's identity. As identity management moves into the
forefront of technology, directory services will evolve from simple LDAP
repositories used for authentication and storage to robust engines that
provide identity integration, access management and policy enforcement.
This presentation will discuss how identity management and directory
services provide a robust solution for Web services authentication,
authorization and single sign-on.
