Entrust and Vordel

Entrust GetAccess is a high performance, scalable Web access control solution. The combination of Entrust GetAccess and Vordel products provides the market with a single solution for securing both Website and Web Service access.

The features of this solution include:

• Distributed security enforcement with centralized management. Vordel's product architecture enables enforcement of security policies across multiple XML systems, while allowing the management of user identities to be centralized in GetAccess. The administrator is not required to replicate policies or user information between Vordel products and GetAccess.
• Extension of single sign-on to XML traffic. Users need authenticate only once and use multiple local and third-party Web Services, without a need to re-authenticate. Vordel products enforce the security policies at each Web Service endpoint, while GetAccess manages the security session.
• Interoperability. Vordel products' support for Entrust GetAccess ensures the solution can integrate within an organization's Web portal infrastructure to secure application, portal, and content management servers as well as enterprise and Web Services applications.
• Support for standards. SAML, WS-Security, and WS-Trust are used in the joint Vordel/Entrust solution to secure Web Services. The use of non-proprietary technologies means that customers avoid the use of tightly-coupled APIs.
