Developers and Identity Services - Bridging Usability and Transparency With Role Provider Service

Service-Oriented Security (SOS) aligns with the overall Application-Centric approach of the entire Oracle Fusion Middleware platform - with the goal of providing a comprehensive, standards-based, developer-friendly platform. By leveraging and sharing many of the common Identity Services, SOS allows developers to spend the effort on where it counts the most - the application logic itself. However, to truly move away from the traditional silo-based approach in dealing with identity management, application developers building identity-enabled applications must look to the benefits of these services and understand when and how to use these services in their application design.
