OpenSSO (OpenAM)

At the beginning of the EDIT project, OpenSSO has been evaluated as the most suitable Identity Provider (IdP) software. As Oracle took over SUN and gave up maintaining the community version of OpenSSO, ForgeRock took over but had to rename the community version to OpenAM.

EDIT is currently using the most recent community version of OpenSSO. During the next upgrade, we will probably switch to current version of OpenAM.
