Unified

Traditionally delivered as six different products — SSO, adaptive authentication, strong authentication, federation, web services security and fine-grained entitlement enforcement — OpenAM now provides all this in a single, unified cross platform offering deployed as a .war file into a Java Servlet container such as Tomcat.

Heritage

Originally based on Sun MicroSystem's OpenSSO, ForgeRock have been developing and commercially supporting OpenAM since 2010. This version was originally released to ForgeRock customers in March 2015, and is now being released as our Community Edition without the ForgeRock binary licensing restrictions. It is well tested an has managed millions of identities in its lifetime.

Standards Based

Cross Domain Single Sign On (CDSSO), SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0 & OpenID Connect ensure that OpenAM integrates easily with legacy, custom and cloud applications without requiring any modifications. It's a developer-friendly, open-source control solution that allows you to own and protect your users digital identities.
