Abstract
A mechanism for performing role-based authorization of the one or more services using security tokens associated with received service request messages. This role-based authentication is performed regardless of the type of security token associated with the received service request messages. Upon receiving a service request message over the network for a particular service offered by the service providing computing system, the service providing computing system accesses a security token associated with the received service request message. Then, the computing system identifies one or more roles that include the identity associated with the security token, and correlates the roles with the security token. These correlated roles are then used to authorize the requested service. This mechanism is performed regardless of the type of the security token.
