OpenAM centralizes VALIDATION by using a variety of authentication modules. Modules connect to identity REPOSITORIES that store identities and PROVIDE authentication services. The identity repositories are implemented as LDAP directories, relational databases, RADIUS, Windows authentication, one-time password services, other standards-based access management systems and much more. OpenAM lets us CHAIN together the validation services used which lets you configure stronger authentication for more sensitive resources for example. It allows to set up modules that remember a device when the user logs in successfully.
