Thanks Andy & Rod for prompt replies.

Can you suggest any open-source project that can be smoothly integrated for
Identity Management with Shibboleth IdPv3.

Has anyone used OpenAM Identity Management tool:
https://www.forgerock.com/platform/identity-management/. Kindly suggest
alternatives.

Thanks.
