Federation Manager configuration data, user authentication data and user federation data can be managed and retrieved from a database of the following type:

• Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) version 3 compliant directories (for example, Sun Java System Directory Server or Microsoft^TM Active Directory)

• Relational Database Management Systems (through customer plug-in implementations only)

• Flat files (default text file format for configuration data)

Federation Manager does not come with a user administration system.
