When Sun Microsystems was acquired by Oracle in January 2010, Sun’s identity and access management software was scheduled for phase out in favor of Oracle’s in-house product. ForgeRock was founded in Norway by a group of ex-Sun employees in February 2010 to continue to develop Sun’s open source identity software.

ForgeRock provides identity and access management through its primary product, the ForgeRock Identity Platform. The product is built on Sun’s open source identity and access management projects. The ForgeRock Identity Platform includes Access Management (built from the OpenAM open source project), Identity Management (built from the OpenIDM open source project), Directory Services (built from the OpenDJ open source project), and Identity Gateway (built from the OpenIG open source project). OpenAM provides access management, OpenDJ is an directory service, OpenIDM is used for identity management, and OpenIG provides an identity gateway for web traffic and application programming interfaces (APIs).
