In this post, I am going to sharing how to create a realm in OpenAM. Realm is used to group and organize the information and configuration parameters. Its like isolation of the parameters and configuration for a particular realm. You can create a project/channel-wise realm. So if one realm not working due to misconfiguration then it will not affect other realms. So each realm working like independent.
Before going to create a realm, OpenAM should be installed and up and running. If not installed OpenAM, You can install OpenAM by using the following links and videos.
