Oracle Identity Management vs. Oracle Identity and Access Management


Oracle naming convention for their products confuses a lot of people. Well, I am one of them. I recently started looking into the Fusion Applications (11.1.1.5.0) and found that the identity management is split into 2 separate installations.

One is the Oracle Identity Management and the other Oracle Identity and Access Management.

As of 11g (11.1.1.5.0)

Oracle Identity Management includes:

  • Oracle Internet Directory
  • Oracle Directory Integration Platform
  • Oracle Virtual Directory
  • Oracle Directory Services Manager
  • Oracle Identity Federation
  • Oracle HTTP Server (hmm...)

Oracle Identity and Access Management includes:
  • Oracle Access Manager Server (also includes WebGate)
  • Oracle Adaptive Access Manager
  • Oracle Identity Manager
  • Oracle Identity Navigator
  • Oracle Security Token Service
  • Oracle Entitlements Server
All of these can be logically divided in to 3 categories.

- Directory Service
