In this tutorial, we will discuss to give complete details about basic concepts of ForgeRock’s access management solution and OpenAM (ver 13.5). We have to proceed with the installation of the OpenAM procedure. At last, we have the great opportunity in getting our hands familiar with OpenAM, by using Java Agent in the OpenAM along with OpenAM in order to secure the web application.

ForgeRock Architecture in Detail:
ForgeRock Architecture can be used to explain the components, and functionalities, along with how it can be operated with some other types of devices.
Let us know the complete details about the ForgeRock architecture.
ForgeRock solutions are entirely based on the access and identity management solutions that are used for securing all your things and devices. The access and identity management solutions are not designed with ease of the integrated application which can offer below mechanisms such as;
- To provide secure device-agnostic access.
- To handle large-scale populations like what we need for deployments.
- To make some of the decisions that are based on the consumer context.
They can require the platforms which have securely identity-enabled some new services in months but not in the years, manage the identities of various user devices, and the internet of things (IoT). It can also be used to Support huge scale required for the identities of the consumer and microservices of machine-to-machine processes, and it is also used to maintain a persistent identity across various services and devices. ForgeRock is also defined as a modern version of access and Identity management platform. At a fundamental level, the ForgeRock contains the following components such as;
How can a person be identified in a system?
- It completely depends on how the roles will be identified.
- Secure the sensitive data in the system.
- Deleting, Adding, and updating that personal details along with his roles.
- Assigning the level of access management.
Overview of ForgeRock:
ForgeRock can be used as a part of the access and Identity management platform. The purpose of having ForgeRock is to offer a compliance and flexible set of services at the time in which the consumer faces some issues with features of traditional access management. This ForgeRock can provide various kinds of legacy services like Social sign-on service, Single-sign-on service, mobile authentications, secured authentication, benefits of self-service, web devices federations and security. ForgeRock has its unique set of architecture devices and components that are used to support the case scenarios form various complex consumer needs and requirements in order to connect to the devices for multiple protocol federations. This tool also can be used to provide the secured solutions of machine-to-machine and also can be used to enable the cloud systems of single-sign-on service. At the highest level of application in the ForgeRock, the developments contain stateful session management, Java applications, and client-side APIs. These interfaces can enable the policy governance and custom plugins for the mobile and web site applications.
ForgeRock – An Access and Identity Management tool:
ForgeRock is also defined as the modern version of access and identity management (IAM) tool which was developed in order to overcome the hurdles that are faced with features of traditional access management.
The capabilities and features of the ForgeRock access and identity management platform:
The customers / users can access more than hundreds of inputs for orchestration, identity, and dynamic access decisions.
Security context -> frauds and security behavior with artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Business context -> includes resources, transactions, and scope.
Relationship context -> User-device and User-user relationships.
This can be used to send the signals to the fabric of the digital enterprises in order to have agility and security.
ForgeRock Backstage Knowledgebase
The ForgeRock Backstage knowledge base consists of the data / information like how to diagnose the issue within your companies / industries / organizations or applications.
There are three types of backstage knowledge bases:
- IOS SDK troubleshooting
- Android SDK Troubleshooting
- JavaScript SDK troubleshooting
The ForgeRock SDKs can be used to help the users / customers in order to integrate the identity platform of the ForgeRock authentication services into the web services or mobile services.
Steps:
1. Authentication and Registration tree:
This ForgeRock SDKs registration and authentication tree supports the user / customer in configuring and creating the profiles of the end-user. The customer / user can be easily plugged into devices that are external by using anomaly analyzers and jailbreak detectors.
2. Access Token Acquisition:
The ForgeRock SDK architecture can be used to provide token management and multi-step OAuth 2.0 acquisition.
3. Architecture:
Tiered SDK components can be used to design and allow integration at various levels. The SDK integration consists of intermediate API wrappers, User interface (UI) rendering modules, and Application programming interfaces (API).
4. Abstraction layer:
The ForgeRock SDK architecture also has some frameworks. This SDK framework can be used to incorporate the abstraction layer in order to consume integrations and can be used to uniformize them in the use case.
