Wren:IDM is a community‐developed identity management system with a flexible data model, multiple extension pointsand scripting support, including JavaScript and Groovy. It can connect to and manage a wide range of systems throughthe Identity Connector Framework (Wren:ICF).

Wren:IDM is one of the projects in the Wren Security Suite, a community initiative that adopted open‐source projectsformerly developed by ForgeRock, which has its own roots in Sun Microsystems’ products.

Wren:IDM itself is focused on identity management processes and it also provides a powerful framework for implementingIAG and a portion of IAM processes as well. Although the project is based on OpenIDM code, it is not affiliated withForgeRock in any way. It is based on the very latest code available under a CDDL license (not‐yet‐released OpenIDM 5.x).

The features of Wren:IDM include:

• A complete platform for building IDM and IG solutions using the concepts described below – roles, mappings,synchronizations, workflows, policies, etc.
• ICF Connector Servers – services that allow connectors to be run outside of the IDM itself. Useful when a connectorneeds a specific client environment to talk to the integrated system. Also facilitates security. .NET and Java ConnectorServers are available.
• Administration GUI – an interface for making changes to data models and configuration using a point‐and‐clickinterface rather than Wren:IDM's REST interface.
• Self‐service GUI – an interface for end‐users to update their profile information, passwords, and preferences.

Both the Administration GUI and Self‐Service GUI are web‐based, single‐page applications that can be turned off indeployments that do not desire to use them[1].

You can get Wren:IDM application in couple of ways:

The easiest way to get the Wren:IDM is to download the latest binaryrelease.

In order to build the project from the command line follow these steps:

Prepare your Environment

Following software is needed to build the project:

Build the source code

All project dependencies are hosted in JFrog repository and managed by Maven, so to build the project simply execute Mavenpackage goal.

$ cd $GIT_REPOSITORIES/wrenidm$ mvn clean package

Built binary can be found in${GIT_REPOSITORIES}/wrenidm/openidm-zip/target/wrenidm-${VERSION}.zip.

You can also run Wren:IDM in a Docker container. Official Wren:IDM Docker images can be foundhere.

Project documentation can be found in our documentation platform (docs.wrensecurity.org).Repository hosting cookbook with common use cases is available onGitHub.

Large portions of the source code are based on the open-source projectspreviously released by:

• Sun Microsystems
• ForgeRock
