The AppFabric Service Bus connects local, firewalled applications and data with applications in the cloud, rich desktop applications, and smart, Web-enabled devices anywhere in the world.
AppFabric Access Control is a claims-based access control service that can be used on most Web-enabled devices to build interoperable, federated authentication and authorization into any connected application.
Service Bus Features
- Securely exposes to external callers Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)-based Web services that are running behind firewalls and NAT routers -- without requiring you to open any inbound ports or otherwise change firewall and router configurations.
- Enables secure inbound communication from devices outside the firewall.
- Provides a global namespace system that is location-independent: the name of a service in the AppFabric Service Bus provides no information about the final destination of the communication.
- Provides a service registry for publishing and discovering service endpoint references in a service namespace.
- Builds and hosts service endpoints that support:
- Exposing a Web service to remote users. Expose and secure a local Web service in the cloud without managing any firewall or NAT settings.
- Eventing behavior. Listen for notifications on any device, anywhere in the world.
- Tunneling between any two endpoints to enable bidirectional streams.
- Exposing a Web service to remote users. Expose and secure a local Web service in the cloud without managing any firewall or NAT settings.
