What is Waveset Service Provider?

Waveset Service Provider is a highly scalable, extranet-focused identity management feature that is capable of provisioning and maintaining millions of end user accounts that are stored on an LDAP directory server. The Service Provider feature can also manage thousands of administrator accounts and synchronize LDAP account data with other resources.

The Service Provider feature uses a subset of the features and functionality available in Waveset. For a detailed accounting of the differences between standard Waveset and the Service Provider feature, see Service Provider Features in Oracle Waveset Service Provider 8.1.1 Deployment.

Once available as a separate add-on product, Service Provider is now part of Waveset. Taking advantage of Service Provider functionality, however, requires special planning.
