    Yes, the APM Webgate Agent is built from the Oracle Access Manager agent SDK.

     

    So it communicates between APM's webgate agent and the OAM server using OAP, which is Oracle's proprietary Oracle Access Protocol.

     

    If you follow the BIG-IP Version 11 deployment guide for the APM-OAM integration, you configure OAM as APM's AAA server. It is very important that you follow this deployment guide to the letter for a successful deployment.

     

    And, you need the APM Full license to use this feature ( the APM Limited license will not work with OAM ).

     

    Good Luck !
