Securing web services using Security Markup Assertion Language
(SAML)
The Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)
is an XML-based
OASIS standard for exchanging user identity and security attributes
information. Using SAML, a client can communicate assertions regarding
the identity, attributes, and entitlements of a SOAP message. You
can apply policy sets to JAX-WS applications to use SAML assertions
in web services messages and in web services usage scenarios. Use
SAML assertions to represent user identity and user security attributes,
and optionally, to sign and to encrypt SOAP message elements.
