How do Identity Manager and Sun Access Manager work together?
Identity Manager and Access Manager are completely complementary to one another, each serving a key role in an identity management infrastructure. Access Manager provides authentication (validates identity), authorization (enforces access policies on network resources), web single sign-on (SSO), and identity federation capabilities for applications. Identity Manager provides identity provisioning (including account creation, deletion, modification, access rights modification via a workflow) and auditing capabilities. Identity Manager can also provision accounts for users within Access Manager.
