Defining Subjects

OpenSSO Enterprise offers a basic identity management functionality. Subjects can be defined within a realm: a user represents an individual identity and a group represents a collection of users with a common function, feature or interest. A subject can be used in the definition for a policy. For more information on defining subjects, see Chapter 5, Creating Subjects.

OpenSSO Enterprise is not a user provisioning product. This basic identity management functionality should only be used for demonstrations and proof of concepts. The user provisioning solution provided by Sun Identity Manager should be used in real deployments. For more information see Sun Identity Manager.
