TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Director Governance
TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Director Governance is a governance solution to manage and enforce cross-functional requirements such as security, monitoring, and compliance independent of their implementation and deployment.
Using both embedded agents and intermediary proxy applications, TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Director Governance can inspect, secure, log, and forward messages.
TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Director Governance can change the behavior of a service without changing the application code that results in a dynamic, policy-based service-oriented architecture (SOA) governance. For example, when you create, deploy, and manage simple object access protocol (SOAP) web services and representational state transfer (REST) services, security, logging, monitoring, and compliance could be involved in the process. The governance functions are independent of the service life cycle and ideally those services are not interrupted to change a policy.
| Policy | Description |
|---|---|
| Authentication | Validates the username and password credentials from request messages. |
| Authorization | Filters the service request messages by checking that the requester has appropriate access permissions. |
| Encryption | Enforces the encryption on all messages between two applications (encrypting messages as they exit one application, and decrypting them as they enter the other application). |
| Credential Mapping | Automatically attaches appropriate credentials to request messages before they reach services. |
| Logging | When a request results in a fault message, stores log details for later analysis. |
