SAML is an XML-based standard for federated exchange of authentication and authorization information.
SAML was developed as an open OASIS standard for exchanging identity information between separate security domains.
An identity provider issues a signed assertion; a service provider validates it and grants derived access. SAML defines assertions, protocols, and bindings for single sign-on, but not complete user administration or every surrounding security measure.
Identity and access information is transferred between parties in a standard form.
The service provider validates the identity provider's assertion and derives a session.
Trust, signatures, time conditions, and correct bindings are operational prerequisites.
SAML helps teams plan and delimit federated login and single sign-on between organizations and services.
