Getting Started
Getting Started with SAML (PDF 42 KB)
OASIS SAML enables XML-based exchange of security information related to a user between servers over HTTP. The information for authentication and authorization can be exchanged using SAML in the back end without users noticing the exchange. SAML acknowledges that each platform has its own mechanism for authentication and authorization. Consequently, user security information is exchanged in a standard XML-based structure.
