I guess you need an XML firewall, like IBM Datapower one. There are some more application-specific XML firewalling tools out there. On Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 02:28:53PM -0400, Ginski, Richard J wrote:
There's talk in our org to directly interface one of our back-end servers to provide web services for external entities via the Internet. On the surface, this is a risky option for me. Although firewall "protected", I don't want a "protected device" directly interacting with web service "consumers" from the Internet. It sounds like a bad idea to me. I have been searching around looking for sample diagrams (etc) on environments that support Web Services. I am trying to determine where stuff goes in this environment and how a firewall/DMZ fit into the picture. Can anyone point me to where info would be available for this? I've checked the archives for the past year and checked at OASIS, W3C, OWASP, and XML.com, with no luck. The "web services sites" focus on coding practices, coding architecture, and coding frameworks. Although very important, it's not the info I am looking for. We are trying to determine how web services fit in our environment using best practices in network design and network security to support web services. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
