Discovery: Allows requesters to discover where the resources they need are located. Entities
can place resource offerings in a discovery resource, allowing other entities to discover them.
Resources might be a personal profile, a calendar, travel preferences, and so on.
Employee Profile: Allows you to manage employment-related information and how the
information is shared with others. A company address book that provides names, phones, office
locations, and so on, is an example of an employee profile.
LDAP Profile: Allows you to use LDAP attributes for authorization and general use.
Personal Profile: Allows you to manage personal information and to determine how to share
that information with others. A shopping portal that manages the user’s account number is an
example of a personal profile.
User Interaction: Allows you to set up a trusted user interaction service, used for identity
services that must interact with the resource owner to get information or permission to share
data with another Web service consumer. This profile enables a Web service consumer and Web
service provider to cooperate in redirecting the resource owner to the Web service provider and
back to the Web service consumer.
