Abstract
A method and a system are presented in which federated domains interact within a federated environment. Domains within a federation can initiate federated operations for a user at other federated domains. A point-of-contact server within a domain relies upon a trust proxy within the domain to manage trust relationships between the domain and the federation. The point-of-contact server receives incoming requests directed to the domain and interfaces with a first application server and a second application server, wherein the first application server responds to requests for access to controlled resources and the second application server responds to requests for access to federated user lifecycle management functions, which are implemented using one or more pluggable modules that interface with the second application server.
