Understand and convert broad range of security domain identities
Provide secure external access services to partners
Connectivity often implies security domain change
– MB supports a broad variety of security tokens
– Userid/pw, X509, SAML, Kerberos, LTPA…
MB is Policy Enforcement Point (PEP)
– Security is enforced here, still owned by PDP
– Identity management, access control, authorization
and authentication mechanisms (AAA) are essential
Policy Decision Point (PDP) and MB work together
– PDP combination provides a secure infrastructure
– Ensures conformance to centralized security policy
– Many different PDP technologies supported
• Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
