[OpenSSO](http://www.opensso.org (OpenAM) )¶

At the beginning of the EDIT project, [OpenSSO](http://www.opensso.org has been evaluated as the most suitable Identity Provider (IdP) software. As Oracle":http://www.oracle.com took over "SUN":http://www.sun.com and gave up maintaining the community version of OpenSSO, "ForgeRock":http://www.forgerock.com took over but had to rename the community version to "OpenAM) .

EDIT is currently using the most recent community version of [OpenSSO](http://www.opensso.org. During the next upgrade, we will probably switch to current version of OpenAM) .
