Deployment tool and method for managing security lifecycle of a federated web service

摘要

A method for managing a security lifecycle of a federated web service provider (WSP) is described. The method includes populating a graphical user interface with available security mechanisms, receiving a selection of a selected security mechanism from a user, and creating a deployment time policy generator for instantiating the selected security mechanism in outgoing messages generated by the WSP. A system and machine readable-medium for a deployment tool for performing the method are also described.
