Sun Java System Access Manager: Configuration and Customization (WMO-AM-3480)

The Sun Java System Access Manager: Configuration and Customization course provides students with a description of the role of the Sun Java System Access Manager (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 covers a number of identity management concepts and Access Manager functions that range in complexity from introductory to advanced. This course does not cover basic installation, Java technology programming, Extensible Markup Language (XML), Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), and Sun Java System Directory Server (Directory Server) concepts. These topics are covered in other Sun courses.
