Policies
A policy is a configuration that specifies the details that TIBCO ActiveMatrix needs to enforce a constraint declared in an intent. A policy can also be specified without an intent.
Active Matrix supports many types of policies, such as authentication, authorization, encryption, transaction, reliability, and threading. For example, an authentication policy at a service with a SOAP binding enforces authentication of all SOAP requests from clients. Though the business logic in your application may require a policy to enforce authentication, the business logic and the policy operate independently. A managed transaction policy ensures that a managed transaction is started a composite or component runs, so its operations execute in a transaction environment.
