Unified Middleware Security Management - the Policy
Server
| With the Web Services DBC
product and the IIOP DBC product,
Xtradyne offers enterprises two very powerful application
security gateway products for the firewalling of Web Services and
Corba/EJB based applications. Both DBC products provide extensive
AAA functionality (authentication, authorization, audit), which
makes them suitable not only for firewall security at application
level, but also as complete security solutions for the
enterprise, including internal users, for Web Services and
Corba. |

Already the Standard editions of both Xtradyne DBC products include
the Xtradyne Security Policy Server in its basic version, where it
controls the gateway modules and allows security management and the
use of LDAP directories. For advanced security management of
arbitrarily many Web Services and Corba applications with one unified
security policy Xtradyne offers, as a separate product, the
Enterprise edition of the Security Policy Server.
One Xtradyne Security Policy
Server installation can control all Web Services DBCs and IIOP DBCs
installed in the customer's network. The unified security management
allows user authentication, fine-grained authorization (down to the
single operations on Corba objects, EJBs, or of the Web Service), and
detailed security audit for all SOAP/Web Services, Corba, and EJB
based services with one security policy.
The policy server's powerful access control model supports users,
groups, and security roles.  The support of LDAP directory servers allows the use of
already existing user and group management systems without the need
to duplicate user information. The Administration Console that comes
with the Enterprise edition of the Security Policy Server allows
unified security management for all SOAP and IIOP based applications
in the enterprise.
High availability of the Security Policy Server is supported through
full support for replication and several forms of clustering (for
details see our white paper on high-availability and
scalability).
Supported Platforms
The Security Policy Server is available on Solaris 8 and 9, Red
Hat Linux 7.1, 7.2 and 8.0, Suse Linux 7.3, 8.0 and 8.1. The
Administration Console runs on any platform that provides a Java
Virtual Machine, including Windows XP, 2000, NT, HP-UX, AIX, etc.
