There is still no good reference on OpenSSO/OpenAM
By PJP
At half the price, I might have been a little more generous in my rating (but not by much).
The book starts by giving a brief history of the product, in all its various forms and insists upon pointing to Oracle as being the keeper of the flame for OpenSSO, which is hard to swallow given their stated intention to kill it, removing public access to binaries and to a lot of information. I know the author works for them, but really!
The quality of the writing and editing is poor, with incomplete sentences and fairly complex examples running inline with the text. Just changing font isn't enough, they need to be extracted from the text and presented in isolation. It isn't clear how much attention the publisher's editor paid to the content, but apparently not much. For example, the section entitled "Administrating the Server" would more properly be written as " Administering the Server".
URLs just appear out of thin air. How is the user supposed to know these? Is there reason and a scheme behind them? (There is, not a particularly wonderful one, but its there).
Two things really stand out as big problems: The mention of areas which are complex, poorly (or not) documented and where users typically have problems. These are written off as "beyond the scope of this book", about the third time you read that phrase, it starts to get old. Similarly treatment of the GUI, mentioning that a particular screen has many tabs and going on to say that they are mostly not going to be covered:. Well, sorry, that was what I bought the books for! The second problem is the long and complex command-line examples. There is no explanation of the (many) options, just a three or four line horribly complex commands. No discussion of whether the same thing can be achieved in the GUI. Unless you already know how to use the command line tool, this book won't help.
If you just follow the flow of the book, type in the examples exactly as shown, click the GUI as told, you will get through the book, but at the end will probably not have learned much.
Since federation is one of the principle selling points, its absence (other than some canned wizards for a couple of somewhat useless examples) is inexcusable. Not covering entitlements similarly.
The book lost its way. It is not a book on internals (although it delves into them in many areas), its not a book on advanced administration, too much is missing, and its not a book on deployment. It touches on all three, but incompletely.
The book follows the same pattern that has been a huge problem for this series of products since DSAME, thinking that it is reasonable that an end user/administrator should end up extracting and editing huge and complex XML files. Sorry, XML is not a user interface, and never should be. Explaining these as part of an internals description would be fine, but as part of the normal administration process is not (this is not entirely the fault of the book's author).
If you get to the end of the book, you will (maybe) have succeeded in setting up a highly complex system to put password protection on a webserver and tomcat. Something these products can do natively without any help from OpenSSO. Its the next steps that are important, and the ones totally absent from this book.

Not good for a technical audience
By Christopher Cebelenski
I bought this book hoping to gain some understanding of how to configure OpenAM and learn about the various ways that OpenAM could be used for single-sign-on. The first hurdle is one of terminology, and here the book fails to provide basic guidance, using specific terms without defining them, or showing options without explaining why and when I might need those options. The second hurdle is context - when do I need certain scenarios and why would I chose them? It uses borrowed terminology from LDAP without explaining how LDAP is configured or what those options mean. The third hurdle is completeness and organization - the book jumps from topic to topic in a disorganized way, spending lots of time on screen shots or specific scenarios such as Salesforce.com integration, but failing to even mention basics such IDP initiated SSO or SAML REST integration.
If you're looking for the minimum in how to install OpenAM or possibly even simple Salesforce.com integration then maybe you will get some use from the book. I didn't find much of anything useful for myself.

For 15$ on kindle, if you need a quick overview of openAM, does the job
By Swamp Thing
I needed to quickly review openAM (formerly openSSO from Sun) for a technology/architecture decision. I just wanted something to get up to speed quickly to read on the ipad while going to sleep. For 15$, this served the purpose. I have to say that I was a little thrown back by all the typos that a simple run of a spell check would've caught (I have the kindle edition, bought November 2012). This is the kind of book where you think you could almost do a better job at writing a book. It feels more like the documentation we usually throw on the intranet for our fellow code maintainers of the future than something that would actually get published. Come on, spell check errors? For example, page 16: "to address the there primary issues". Also weird sentences like page 17: "It provides only standards-based solutions in the world to provide a pluggable, end to end secure web services solution". Why "in the world" ??? I can't find the typo, I stopped bookmarking them one third of the way in but some words would not possibly have passed a dictionary check. And I agree with another reviewer about the localhost URLs. I knew very well that these were based on an /etc/hosts definition but I bet the author lost a lot of people there. It would be so simple to put a little explanation to casual readers how to set that up (/etc/hosts on *nix and windows/system/drivers/etc/hosts). And to maybe highlight just the part of the URL that is important (the part after /openSSO). I was able to follow but kept thinking how so many people would probably be lost at this point, like fellow commenters have done so.
But, for the positive: it does the job and I don't feel bad having spent the 15$. I feel like I have a good idea on openAM's possibilities. If you already know openSSO then you might want to skip this book. I'd say it's more of a tool to get up to speed quickly if you're anything like me and sometime want to have someone walk you through a technology without having to browse back and forth on multiple web sites. You want that one stop shop that's going to show you a big picture quick. I read most of the book in 3 evenings so this is a quick read. You will certainly have to complement with online reading. I wish there were other openAM books. This one left me on my thirst. On the other hand, there's a lot of documentation online (on the openAM site, forgerock,etc.). Plus, if you've already worked with authorization and authentication, most of this just makes plain sense. For the OAuth and other federated stuff, you can find other books to fill in that part.
So, 3 stars, it's okay.
