MicrosoftConnected Services Framework (CSF) contains four core components
that you can use to build service-oriented applications. For more
information about these core components, see the following links:
Components
| >The Session
Component The Session component acts as a broker between Web
services that cooperate in a service-oriented scenario. The
Session component provides the context for conversations
between Web services, routes messages between Web services,
and uses the Identity Manager to provide security
credentials for access to Web services. >The
Service Catalog Component The Service Catalog component provides an
interface to Microsoft Universal Description Discovery and
Integration (UDDI) services for retrieving the properties
and URLs of Web services that are participating in a
service-oriented application. >The
Identity Manager Component The Identity Manager component implements
identity management for Web services that cooperate. The
identities for a user can be stored in an identity store
that is managed by Microsoft Single Sign-On (SSO) services.
Identity Manager provides an interface to SSO
that enables the Session Web service to retrieve the
credentials that are required by a Web service to
authenticate a user. >The
Profile Manager Component The Profile Manager component provides profile
management services. Connected Services Framework uses
Profile Manager to store custom information about users and
their preferences. Profile information is held in a
Resource Description Framework (RDF) store, which is
implemented by a Microsoft SQL Server database. Profile
Manager provides facilities for creating and managing user
profile information and for propagating profile information
to Web services that cooperate in a service-oriented
application. | .jpg)
