with Salesforce.com applications using the SAMLv2 protocol. Out of the
box OpenSSO supports an easy to use work flow feature that enable the
customers to integrate salesforce.com applications to their existing
authentication infrastructure. More you can read it from my new url http://indirat.wordpress.com/salesforce/

The postings I made in the past seem to be very useful to the OpenSSO community I conclude this based on the private mails that I have received periodically. This time I am venturing out to see how the Oracle Internet Directory (OID) could be massaged to store the OpenSSO User and Group information. I dont claim to be an expert in Oracle Directory Server nevertheless what I provide here is a validated procedure that is expected to work. Though I am part of the OpenSSO enterprise product team, in no means I imply this particular identity store is a official part of the supported OpenSSO release.

This article specifically addresses the steps involved in configuring
the OpenDS as the user store for the OpenSSO and enabling password
reset that works in association with OpenDS Password policy.

I have been receiving email constantly about questions that regard to configuring OpenDS as user store for OpenSSO. In my earlier post I have detailed a hack to configure OpenDS with OpenSSO. Starting from Express build 7 of OpenSSO , OpenDS is officially supported as the user store with some known limitation regards to support for OpenDS password policies. These shortcomings will be resolved in the forth coming Express builds.

It is easy to configure an already existing opensso system to run in 'debug' mode, but what if the system is being configured and you want to view the debug traces of opensso? There is a way to do that in OpenSSO.

Out of the box Access Manager Repository Plug-in datastore plugin cannot be created in the OpenSSO server, This is not a bug rather it is intentional to configure it manually depending up on the customer requirement. Access Manager Repository Plug-in data store may be applicable in the co-existence and/or upgrade scenarios with its predecessors like Sun Java System Access Manager. For the fresh deployments customers should be using the Identity Repository Datastore Plugins.

People who love programming in the interpretive languages would love the OpenSSO REST based Identity Services, OpenSSO offers decently powerful REST interfaces to manipulate the idenity information stored in any supported OpenSSO identity store. I strongly encourage to read Aravindan Ranganathan's article on Identity Servic

The simplest way to configure the OpenSSO system is to use the browser just to fill four test fields, it is that simple. However there are scenarios where you want to script the configuration on multiple machines or when you can not reach out to a browser, let us say all you've got is a dumb terminal access. In these scenarios what you do?

This is a follow up posting to may original post about OpenSSO and OpenDS. I have tested the OpenSSOOpenDS is used as both configuration and user data store.

With reference to my earlier post some people asked me why not use Glassfish as the servlet container instead of Tomcat. I think they made sense to me. When I tried the glassfish, to my surprise the configuration of glassfish was as simple as Tomcat. Few simple well documented steps got me a working Application server in place. I have documented those simple steps to save few minutes of your time.[Read More]

I have been waiting for the day when OpenDS and OpenSSO can work together. I think that day is here now. I was able to configure OpenDS as a configuration datastore for the OpenSSO with little hacks. I am sure in future these hacks may not be required as the OpenSSO configurator itself will support openDS. [Read More]
