At 5:40 PM, I have a session ESS-108 (in Purple 301) where I'll discuss Building Authorization Into The Enterprise Identity Metasystem:The emerging claims-based identity metasystem enables enterprises to leverage an identity service for providing authentication controls on access to internal and external websites and services. This talk discusses the next stage, incorporating distributed authorization controls, so that authorization to these resources can be provisioned based on roles and entitlements.
