Please Note: Sun has recently re-branded Sun Java System Identity Server (Identity Server) to Sun Java System Access Manager (Access Manager). You might see reference to either name within the course description and course materials.

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, user interface, 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. The hands-on labs offered in this course might involve accessing equipment that resides at a location other than where the training is delivered.
