COURSE DESCRIPTION

Sun Java(TM) System Access Manager (Access Manager) is a security foundation that helps organizations manage secure access to an enterprise's Web applications both within the enterprise and across business-to-business value chains. It provides open, standards-based authentication and policy-based authorization with a single, unified framework. It secures the delivery of essential identity and application information to meet today's needs and to scale with growing business needs, by offering single sign-on (SSO) as well as enabling federation across trusted networks of partners, suppliers, and customers.

The Sun Java(TM) System Access Manager: Configuration and Customization course provides students with a description of the role of Access Manager in an identity management solution. Students learn to configure, manage, administer, and customize Access Manager services, authentication, authorization, and federated identity. This comprehensive course presents a number of identity management concepts and Access Manager functions that range in complexity from introductory to advanced.

This course does not present basic installation, Java(TM) technology programming, Extensible Markup Language (XML), Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), and Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition (Directory Server EE) concepts. These topics are presented in other Sun courses. The hands-on labs offered in this course might involve accessing equipment that resides at a location other than where the training is delivered.

This course features Sun Java Enterprise System (Java ES) 5 software, including Access Manager 7.1, Directory Server EE 6.0, and Sun Java System Web Server (Web Server) 7.0.
