Overview
To support a dynamic environment where sources of identity information may change, it is necessary to provide a common means to access identity and attribute information from across multiple identity repositories. The IdAS virtualizes identity sources and provides a unified view of identity information. IdAS includes services such as: open initial Context, open other Contexts from the initial or other contexts, negotiate/broker authentication during opening of contexts, navigate the contents of an opened context and inspect contained Digital Subjects and their attributes, edit attributes (as allowed by the context's policies), associate of Digital Subjects within and across contexts, creation of new contexts, support management of the attributes of Digital Subjects linked within and across Contexts. The IdAS API will be accessible via Java and other languages as well as via WSDL and HTTP/XML.
