Sun Microsystems, United Kingdom - Sun Java System Federation Manager

Sun Java System Federation Manager



 

Federation Manager is the first solution to extend federation to a large number of partners at a low cost. It quickly establishes and extends trusted domains to include large numbers of service providers as part of a hub-and-spoke architecture. Federation Manager provides secure federated services by allowing spoke partners to more efficiently leverage the core security and identity infrastructures of the hub provider. Because it makes trusted domains easily extensible across vast networks of partners, Federation Manager can create application security mechanisms that are infinitely reusable and that enable authentication and access solutions to work together seamlessly across diverse partner environments.

  • SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

    For optimum performance, run Federation Manager on a 100 MB or greater Ethernet network. The minimum configuration for an Federation Manager deployment is a server running Federation Manager and a web container such as Sun Java System Web Server. It should be a machine with one or more CPUs, with greatly diminishing returns on processor investment after four. Two to four CPUs per server are recommended. A minimum of 256 MB of RAM is necessary for basic testing of the software.

    For an actual deployment scenario, 1 GB of RAM is recommended for threads, the SDK, the HTTP server, and other internals; 2 GB for basic operation, and object allocation space, and 100 MB per 10,000 concurrent sessions. Each Federation Manager is recommended to cap out at 100,000 concurrent sessions, after which horizontal load balancing should be applied (assuming the 4 GB memory limitation of 32ybit applications).

  • LICENSING REQUIREMENTS

    Federation Manager licensing requires that the customer purchase a base license, which includes 249,999 users. Additional users are licensed on a tiered, Per user basis less the number of users included in the base license.

    The end customer must have a web container (listed in the supported platforms section) in order to deploy Federation Manager. Federation Manager is deployed as a web application in that container. If you are using an LDAPv3 compliant directory as Federation Manager's data store, you must first deploy that directory server before installing Federation Manager.

  • UPGRADE PLAN

    Java System Federation Manager is a new product, compatible with Java System Access Manager. Existing Access Manager customers can license Federation Manager as an additional component of their architecture that they will deploy to Service Provider partners. In addition, Service Provider partners that do not already have federation capabilities can license Federation Manager.
