Oracle Access Management Administrators can control and specify parameters used by the entire suite, not just a single service, as introduced in Table 3-3.

Table 3-3 Common Settings

Tab Name	Description
Session	Session configuration refers to the process of managing the lifecycle requirements of a session, and notification of events to enable global logout. Global logout is required for OSSO Agents (mod_osso) to ensure that logging out of a session on any entity propagates the logout to all entities.
Coherence	Common Oracle Coherence settings shared by all OAM Servers differ from those for individual OAM Servers. However, in both cases Oracle recommends that you make no adjustments to these settings unless instructed to do so by an Oracle Support Representative.
Audit Configuration	Oracle Access Management supports auditing for a large number of administrative and run-time events, uniform logging and exception handling, and the diagnostics of all audit events. Oracle Access Management auditing configuration is recorded in oam-config.xml. See Also: "Using the Oracle Access Management Console for Audit Configuration".
Default and System Identity Stores	This section identifies the default identity and system stores, which can be one in the same (or different).
