Abstract

The Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 21 is known for providing two important features, cross-domain single sign-on (SSO) and identity federation. SAML 2 has been adopted in many enterprise environments because it enabled the enterprise to have applications used by employees, customers, and partners delegate user authentication to a centralized enterprise identity provider. This gave the enterprise a central place to manage and control identities. If you are writing an application for large enterprise customers, they may expect you to support authentication using SAML 2. In this chapter we’ll provide an overview of how SAML 2 provides SSO and how to most efficiently achieve support for this protocol for your application.
