The TIBCO Hawk product currently supports the ability to “plug-in” an authorization module. The TIBCO Hawk WebConsole uses the plug-in module to create identification objects. The TIBCO Hawk agent guarantees that every request is authorized before execution by invoking the appropriate plug-in method.
The techniques used to address authentication, authorization, integrity, and privacy with regard to messaging and communication channels are varied. It is the goal of the framework to be completely independent of these techniques so that a plug-in is possible regardless of the tools and techniques chosen for implementation.
