Description and Intended Audience:
This course will prepare solution architects, systems engineers, and systems integrators for the process of designing Epok solutions based on information-sharing problems. Students will learn how to assess the existing information environment, determine the policies and agreements that need to be in place, define the user population and resource control structure, and define communities, resource groups, user groups, and publications for the purpose of sharing sensitive information.
Skill Objectives:
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
-
Understand the value of using Epok Federated Acess Manager to meet cross-domain information-sharing requirements
-
Describe the business requirements in Epok Federated Acess Manager terms:
- Sub-domains
- Policy requirements
- Sensitivity and trust requirements
- Information flow: General information-sharing requirements between organizations
- Organize resources into Resource Control Points and Resource Nodes according to established principles.
-
Organize user systems and user populations into external groups and Epok Group Nodes
- Define static communities and define the rules for creating new communities in an Authority Network
- Apply good design principles to the design of an Authority Network architecture
