Communications Express and Access Manager

From MsgServerDocWiki

In Communications Suite 5, does Communications Express 6.3 require you to deploy Access Manager?

Starting with the Communications Suite 5 release, this dependency on Access Manager for Schema 2 has been removed.

In previous releases, Communications Express used the following APIs and libraries to establish connections and fetch information from an LDAP store:

• Domain MAP API (which is a part of Communications Express) if Communications Express was deployed using Schema 1 mode.
• Access Manager SDK if Communications Express was deployed using Schema 2

This made Communications Express dependent on Access Manager in Schema 2 mode even though Access Manager is not mandatory for it to work apart from just connecting and fetching information from the LDAP store.

If you do want want to use Access Manager single-sign-on the article AM_redirection_using_Policy_Agent may be of interest.
