One Identity Cloud Access Manager - STS Windows Service

In One Identity Cloud Access Manager deployment, there is a STS host and Proxy host. The proxy host acts as the reverse proxy to protected applications, as well as serving as the Login Page.




On the Proxy host, if you ever need to restart the service, a quick search for One Identity Cloud Access Manager Proxy does the job. Fairly easy to locate.




On the STS host, if you need to restart the service, you are not in luck. It took me a while initially. I just could not locate any service that starts with "One Identity ...".



To do so, search for "Redistributable Secure Token Server" instead.


Weird and inconsistent naming convention indeed!

One Identity Cloud Access Manager - Notifications

I found a good feature in One Identity Cloud Access Manager today - Reminder to turn off detailed message logging.



So I was debugging something yesterday and totally forgotten to turn off detailed message logging. I was at admin console a while ago and I saw a new notification on the top right of the dashboard.

Being curious, I took a look and was reminded to turn off detailed message logging as "Keeping detailed message logging turned on impacts performance".



Not a hard feature to implement. But I seldom see this in other products. Good reminder to my team which is currently busy with their little product development.

One Identity Cloud Access Manager - Database Snapshot

Cloud Access Manager provides a utility feature for customers to download a snapshot of the CAM database. 



This could be helpful for raising a support ticket. Other products have similar feature to capture a snapshot of the current configuration. However, none is as convenient as this.


Pretty good!

Accredited Consultant

ForgeRock Access Management Accredited Consultant



ForgeRock sent me this yesterday. Nice gesture. I take.


Just few weeks ago, I was told by one of my consultant (btw, he is ForgeRock Identity Management Accredited Consultant) that a young punk from another company boasted to him that he is ForgeRock Access Management certified.

Nothing to be great of. Uncle me accredited keeping a low profile here.

When you are capable, you just dig in and work harder. You don't need to show off. Customers have bright eyes.
