Third Party Integration

OpenSSO Enterprise makes it easy to integrate with third-party software. Plug-ins and other tools have been developed to ease the integration of OpenSSO Enterprise and the following products.

• Sun Java System Identity Manager

• Computer Associates SiteMinder

• Oracle Access Manager

For more information, see Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Integration Guide.

Sun Java System Identity Manager

Sun Java System Identity Manager enables an enterprise to manage and audit access to accounts and resources as well as distribute the access management overhead. A OpenSSO Enterprise policy agent is deployed on the Identity Manager machine to regulate access to the Identity Manager server. By mapping Identity Manager objects to OpenSSO Enterprise users and resources, you may significantly increase operational efficiency. For use cases, a technical overview, installation and configuration procedures, architecture diagrams and process flows, see Chapter 1, Integrating Sun Identity Manager , in Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Integration Guide.

Computer Associates SiteMinder

Computer Associates SiteMinder (originally developed by Netegrity) is one of the industry's first SSO products — used in a majority of legacy web SSO deployments to protect their intranet and external applications. OpenSSO Enterprise provides the tools for SSO integration with SiteMinder in both intranet and federated environments. They include a SiteMinder Agent and a OpenSSO Enterprise Authentication Module for SiteMinder. They can be found in the integrations/siteminder directory of the exploded opensso.war. For use cases, a technical overview, installation and configuration procedures, architecture diagrams and process flows, see Chapter 2, Integrating CA SiteMinder, in Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Integration Guide.

Oracle Access Manager

Oracle Access Manager (originally developed by Oblix) is an SSO product with many of the same features as Sun OpenSSO Enterprise and Computer Associates SiteMinder. Oracle Access Manager can be deployed to protect both internal and external applications. OpenSSO Enterprise provides an Oracle Agent and a custom OpenSSO Enterprise Authentication Module for Oracle Access Manager. They can be found in the integrations/oracle directory of the exploded opensso.war. For use cases, a technical overview, installation and configuration procedures, architecture diagrams and process flows, see Chapter 3, Integrating Oracle Access Manager, in Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Integration Guide.
