Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for federating identity management within a distributed portal server, leveraging Web services techniques and a number of industry standards. Identities are managed across autonomous security domains which may be comprised of independent trust models, authentication services, and user enrollment services. The disclosed techniques enable integrating third-party Web services-based portlets, which rely on various potentially-different security mechanisms, within a common portal page.
