Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Administration Guide

Storing Subjects

Any subject created using the OpenSSO Enterprise console is stored in the identity repository that was defined during the installation process. If no external user data store is defined, the user data store is, in effect, the OpenSSO Enterprise embedded configuration data store, and Subjects will be stored in it. This deployment should be used for testing and demonstration purposes only. Defining an external data store during OpenSSO Enterprise configuration, or pointing a realm to an instance of an identity repository after configuration, allows you to store subjects for real deployments.
