Sun Access Manager

Question

i'm looking to learn about SSO, and heard about Sun Access Manager and openSSO(?) I want to build a small system that does SSO, like have Apache as a front end working with an SSO server. Should I investigate Sun AM and is openSSO a product? Do they offer these free for developers? Thanks

Answer 1

OpenSSO is the new name for Sun Access Manager. OpenSSO is open source; source code and binaries are freely available from http://opensso.org/. OpenSSO Express builds are released every three months; OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 is the next commercial product release after Sun Access Manger 7.1, due November 14th.

You can use OpenSSO for free, or buy license/support and deploy either the Express or Enterprise version - your choice. It's a growing, vibrant community, with many deployments.
