Governance Control Templates

A TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Director governance control template encapsulates a common behavioral pattern, such as authenticating user names and passwords against LDAP. A template is used in the process of defining a governance control policy.

You can apply templates to a variety of management situations. Doing so allows you to achieve runtime goals such as authentication, authorization, encryption, and logging.

TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Director provides several governance control template types for runtime:

Authentication - Authentication policies require that requesting users authenticate their identities, using one of several available means.
Credential Mapping - Credential mapping policies map user credentials between two realms, for example, between departments of an enterprise, or between enterprises.
Authorization - Authorization policies require that policy agents check that a user is authorized to request an operation.
Logging - Logging policies record messages as they enter and leave an endpoint, so you can examine the messages later
Messaging - Messaging policies define how messages are sent and received.
