Sun OpenSSO Enterprise
Feature Benefit
Sun OpenSSO Express Builds Enables the deployment of next-generation features developed by the OpenSSO community with the same support and indemnification provided by the commercial releases without any need to wait for the latter. Hence, applications created with those features become available faster.

Single WAR File Distribution Speeds installation and simplifies configuration by eliminating external dependencies.

Simple Product Configurator Enables configuration within minutes, no matter how many instances of Sun OpenSSO Enterprise are being deployed.

Embedded Directory Server Simplifies deployment by eliminating the need to configure a directory to support the configuration store; provides a robust, scalable directory for maintaining information.

Common Task Flows Makes common features repeatable, scalable, and easy to use.

Agent Model or Proxy Model Offers the flexibility to choose the way in which users protect resources.

Centralized Agent Configuration Management Simplifies agent configuration; provides a scalable, repeatable method of centrally establishing agent enforcement policies.

Centralized Server Configuration Allows configuration and management of complex horizontal deployments from an easy-to-use, central console.

Fedlet Offers a lightweight way for service providers to quickly federate with an identity provider.

Virtual Federation Proxy Enables multiple legacy products to start federating before addressing internal SSO issues; eliminates need to either federate-enable all existing products or solve SSO problems before federating.

Federation Validator Allows administrators to quickly test a federated connection on the fly to ensure that the connection is working.

Multiprotocol Federation Hub Allows companies that are members of a circle of trust to speak different federation "languages".

Security Token Service Provides a flexible solution that can be deployed with Sun OpenSSO Enterprise access management and federation services or standalone to support third-party solutions.
