Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Update 1 Patch 2

OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 U1P2 maintains compatibility with versions of its precursor product, Sun Java System Access Manager. More specifically:

• OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0U1P2 supports backward compatibility for all Access Manager 7.1 and Access Manager 7 2005Q4 existing features including the full SDK and the client SDK APIs. Backward compatibility is not supported for:

  • Access Manager 6 2005Q1 (6.3) and earlier releases.

  • Liberty ID-FF schema metadata: Liberty ID-FF profiles do not work unless you upgrade the Access Manager or Federation Manager schema in Directory Server.

• OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0U1P2 can coexist with Access Manager 7.1, but only when instances of OpenSSO Enterprise and Access Manager 7.1 access the same Directory Server schema. This coexistence usually occurs when multiple instances of Access Manager 7.1 that access the same Directory Server are being upgraded sequentially. Coexistence is not supported for:

  • Access Manager 7 2005Q4

  • Access Manager 6 2005Q1 (6.3) and earlier releases

  • Federation Manager 7.0

OpenSSO Enterprise has no mandatory dependencies on other Java ES products, but it can use multiple Java ES products to satisfy its required dependency on a web container, and it can use other Java ES products to provide enhanced functionality. Table 2–7 provides information about these optional dependencies for OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0.
