Integration Architecture

Policy Federation uses the Fully Policy Federated Web Service Adaptor configured within the Enterprise Application.

The integrating application exposes HTTP(S) endpoints:

• Ping: Connectivity validation
• Get Access Rights: Returns effective user permissions on a file
• Get File Information: Returns file metadata details

Policy Server communicates with these endpoints via structured XML over HTTPS.

High level Integration Approach

1. Create Enterprise Application (EA) in Seclore Policy Server
   • Configure EA in Policy Server
   • Configure Hot Folder inside the EA
2. Implement Federation Endpoints Application implements:
   • Ping service
   • Get Access Rights service
   • Get File Information service
   The application must:
   • Parse XML request
   • Compute effective permissions
   • Return structured XML response
3. Configure Adaptor in Policy Server
   • Register base URL
   • Configure authentication mechanism
4. Test Dynamic Permission Flow
   • Protect file via SDK or API using the same Enterprise Application and Hot Folder
   • Open file and check permission inherited as per application's permission
   • Modify permissions in application
   • Verify permission change reflects immediately during file open
