Federated SSO in Oracle Access Management

The Oracle Identity Management framework supports two approaches to cross-domain single sign-on:

• An Oracle Access Management Identity Federation server built into the Oracle Access Management Access Manager server (OAM Server). All configuration for the Identity Federation server is performed in Oracle Access Management Console.
• Separate Oracle Identity Federation Release 1 (11.1.1) and Oracle Access Manager Servers that can be integrated to provide federation capabilities. Both servers must be configured and managed for this integration.

Benefits of using Identity Federation 11.1.2 with Access Manager

Some benefits of using the Identity Federation server with Access Manager in 11g Release 2 (11.1.2) are as follows:

• This eliminates the need to install and maintain separate servers.
• It simplifies post-install configuration of the federation features, particularly with the ability to access those features through the Oracle Access Management Console.
• It improves the scalability of the two servers working together.
• It provides enhanced diagnostics and troubleshooting.

Aarisha Inc has successfully integrated OAM federation with CA Siteminder, IBM Tivoli Access Manager and other third party products.
