SOA governance, security concerns drive XACML interop
The policy requirements of SOA are driving XACML, a two-year-old OASIS standard, into the forefront of security and governance considerations for vendors and their customers, said Hal Lockhart, senior engineering technologist principal for BEA Systems Inc. and co-chair of the OASIS XACML technical committee. Lockhart along with Rich Levinson, principal member of technical staff for identity management/standards architecture at Oracle Corp., are working with the other vendors to resolve XACML interoperability issues. Tuesday they previewed a XACML interoperability demonstration planned for Burton Group Inc.'s Catalyst Conference later this month.
