Oracle Access Manager 11g Introduction

Oracle Access Manager is an enterprise level solution from Oracle Corporation that centralizes critical access control services to provide an integrated solution that delivers authentication, authorization, web single sign-on, policy administration, enforcement agent management, session control, systems monitoring, reporting, logging, and auditing.
      Single Sign-on enables users and/or group of users to access multiple applications after Authentication and Authorization. In case of OAM it provides access based on the URL patterns. So, an administrator can protect a resource on a web server, application server or any third party application using agents.
      There are two types of agents supported in the OAM 11g as of now, webgate and mod_osso agent. These agents are the one which intercept the request of an end user and act as a filter for HTTP requests.
