Course Overview

The ForgeRock Access Management Core Concepts (AM-400) course by ForgeRock is a comprehensive 5-day training program designed for IT professionals responsible for deploying and managing identity and access solutions. This course prepares candidates for the ForgeRock Certified Access Management Specialist certification and serves roles such as System Integrators, IAM Architects, and Security Engineers. With global enterprises increasingly adopting ForgeRock’s platform—used by over 1,300 organizations including governments and Fortune 500 companies—the demand for certified specialists continues to grow. Participants gain foundational knowledge in access management, covering authentication, authorization, federation, and security hardening within real-world deployment scenarios.

Students engage with core ForgeRock technologies including Access Management (AM), Identity Gateway (IG), Directory Services (DS), Web Agents, Amster configuration tools, and protocols like OAuth2, OpenID Connect (OIDC), SAML2, and UMA2. The hands-on lab environment uses containerized instances simulating production deployments, where learners install AM using wizards, configure clustering with CTS-based sessions, build intelligent authentication trees with risk-based nodes, implement step-up authentication, and integrate social login via Google. A key project involves securing a web application using policy enforcement through Web Agents while customizing end-user themes and demonstrating full OIDC and SAML2 flows between service providers and identity providers.

This training directly prepares attendees for the ForgeRock Certified Access Management Specialist exam, which validates expertise in enterprise-grade IAM implementations and is recognized by leading system integrators and cloud providers. Certified professionals report salary increases of 15–30%, with senior IAM Engineer roles averaging $125,000–$162,000 annually in the U.S. Koenig Solutions enhances learning with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official ForgeRock courseware, and instructor-led labs that ensure mastery of real-world use cases. Graduates are equipped to design secure, scalable access management solutions, positioning them for advancement into cloud security, Zero Trust architecture, and IAM leadership roles.
