• The Access Manager information tree, which contains the following information, is stored in Sun Java System Directory Server:

  • How users authenticate

  • Which resources users can access

  • What information is available to applications after users are given access to resources

• The Access Manager identity repository is used to store user data such as users and groups. Access Manager 7 2005Q4 can use Sun Java System Directory Server or an LDAP version 3 (LDAP v3) compliant directory server as the identity repository.
