OpenAM support
Can OpenAM be implemented, within a purepath?
KR Henk Stobbe
If you mean whether we will see OpenAM calls within your PurePath if your application that you are monitoring makes calls to OpenAM then the answer is yes. I've seen this in our own installation of dynatrace on our own systems.

Andreas,
Maybe I am mistaking, but a user first logs on on the OpenAM sever by redirect from the monitored application and receives a session key. So I think you have to have an agent on the OpenAM if you like to see the username in the PP, I suppose that can not be seen in the calls you mentioned?

Hi Henk,
As Andi said, yes, OpenAM can be monitored with dynaTrace out of the box. I've personally had success with both Tomcat 7 and 8 using OpenAM 11 and 12. The one caveat to that is LDAP communication is not support at this time. That means you won't be able to see any calls to OpenDJ or an equivalent product without some additional work.
As an added bonus, it's possible to enable JMX monitoring in OpenAM and consume those metrics into custom measures. That way it's very easy to track things like created sessions, active sessions, cache hits, ect. I'm happy to provide more information if you're unfamilar with how to do this.
Thanks,
Mike
