SAML

What Is the SAML 2.0 Authentication Protocol Used For?

SAML 2.0 (Security Assertion Markup Language) is an open standard based on XML (eXtensible Markup Language) that enables Single Sign-On (SSO) across multiple domains. It delegates authentication to a central identity provider, which sends each application a signed “assertion” proving the user’s identity, without requiring the user to re-enter or share their password with each application.
