Abstract
A method and system for performing federated identity management are described. The method and system include receiving a communication for a data source at a wrapper. The wrapper includes a dispatcher and a service. The dispatcher receives the communication and is data agnostic. The communication corresponds to end user credentials for an end user. The method and system include providing the communication from the dispatcher to the data source and to the service. The method and system also use the service to authenticate the end user based on the end user credentials and utilizing federated identity management.

A method, comprising:
- receiving a communication for a data source at a wrapper, the wrapper including a dispatcher and a service, the dispatcher receiving the communication and being data agnostic, the s communication corresponding to end user credentials for an end user;
- providing the communication from the dispatcher to the data source and to the service;
- and
- authenticating, using the service, the end user based on the end user credentials and utilizing federated identity management.
