When Oracle ceased development on Sun’s OpenSSO—an open source access management platform—It was picked up by ForgeRock and integrated into their Open Identity Suite. Now named OpenAM, it fills the niche for a scalable, open-source platform that supports OpenID Connect and SAML 2.0. However, OpenAM’s long history has resulted in a sprawling codebase whose documentation can be inscrutable. Hopefully, a slimmed-down alternative with better support for automated deployment and provisioning will emerge soon.

Now named OpenAM, it fills the niche for a scalable, open-source platform that supports a variety of federated identity standards, including OpenID Connect and SAML 2.0. These standards are a necessary enabler for secure microservice implementations.
