Extending Oracle Fusion Middleware for External Web Service Security
-Pre-tested Integration Scenarios using a Security Gateway Appliance

Most Enterprises deploy Oracle Fusion Middleware for the internal application integration. Paper presents 10 scenarios for how Security Gateways can be used with specific Fusion Middleware components to scale/secure services externally to partners and/or the cloud. Answers the following questions:

• How safe is it to expose a web service running on my middleware directly on the Internet or cloud?
• How do I ensure my middleware will perform with high volumes of XML traffic?
• How do I easily enforce throttling or quality of service with my partners?
• How expensive will it be to scale my middleware tier? What about virtualization?
• How will scaling my services be tied to my datacenter hardware strategy, such as cloud computing or low-cost Intel® Multi-Core based servers?
• How will authentication, authorization and auditing work? How do I keep track of service calls from the Internet? What about my LDAP or Oracle Identity Management products?
• How can I consistently enforce security policies on services exposed to the Internet versus those used only internally?
