The Windows Azure AppFabric Access Control service simplifies access control for Web service providers by reducing the cost and complexity of integrating with various customer identity technologies. Instead of having to address different customer identity technologies, Web services can easily integrate with AppFabric Access Control. Web services can also integrate with all identity models and technologies that AppFabric Access Control supports through a simple provisioning process and through a REST-based management API. Subsequently, Web services can allow AppFabric Access Control to serve as the point of integration for service consumers.
All application scenarios that involve AppFabric Access Control consist of three service components:
- Service provider: The REST Web service.
- Service consumer: The client application that accesses the Web service.
- Token issuer: The AppFabric Access Control service itself.
