Liberty Employee Profile Service

The Liberty ID-SIS Employee Profile Service Specification (Liberty ID-SIS-EP) describes a data service that provides an identity’s profile information as it relates to employment. An example of a employee profile service might be a corporate calendar or phone book.

Access Manager has implemented this specification by developing a sample that includes the files needed to deploy and invoke a Liberty Employee Profile Service. The Liberty Employee Profile Service is not available when Access Manager is installed. It must first be deployed. For information about accessing the sample files and how to deploy them, see Liberty Employee Profile Service.

For more information, see the Liberty ID-SIS Employee Profile Service Specification.

XML Service File

Among the files included with the sample is the XML service file amLibertyEmployeeProfile.xml. This file defines the attributes for the Liberty Employee Profile Service which, once deployed, can be managed through the Access Manager Console or the XML file itself.

For information about service files, see the Sun Java System Access Manager 7 2005Q4 Administration Guide.

XSD Schema Definition

The Liberty ID-SIS-EP also defines an XML schema for use in building an employee profile service. This XSD file is on the Liberty Alliance Project web site. Version 1.0 is also reproduced in Appendix B, Service Schema Files.
