Abstract

See full text

A method, system and computer program for business process automation facilitates transforming a user's identity/credentials as part of the enablement of transaction fulfillment, e.g., within a SOA environment. In one embodiment, identity and attribute information is added to one or more business process models that each represents a sub-transaction within an overall transaction fulfillment business process flow. As the business model is mapped to an execution environment, the identity and attribute information in the model is used to configure appropriate tooling to define the identity/attribute transformation required to complete the particular portion of the transaction represented by the model. In a representative implementation, the business process models conform to BPEL4WS, and one or more of these models are extended with identity mapping information such that, during transaction fulfillment, local identity mapping transformations provide the identity/credential propagation required to support the business process.
