“Hi ...., You have 2 paths to integrate your PKI system with your SOA environment. Option 1 : Get all the RFCs and a cool coder team and implement the security integration solution overlay. It is all RFC based and it is supposed to work. Option 2: Try one of the XML security gateways and check the built-in PKCS #10, X.509 v3, SAML functionality. This is probably a shorter but a more expensive way. As usual in-house development will be more customized when compared with 3rd party gateway. On the other side XML gateways offer a proven environment with good management options. You probably know the vendors but let me reiterate for other readers: Datapower (acquired by IBM) http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/22475620.pdf Reactivity:(acquired by Cisco) http://www.cisco.com/cdc_content_elements/acquisitions/reactivity/index2.html Forum Systems: http://forumsystems.com/papers/Sentry_Data_Sheet_Spring_2004.pdf Layer7: http://www.layer7tech.com/products/page.html?id=71 let me know if you have a specific question, regards, - yinal”
