Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an open standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, in particular, between an identity provider and a service provider. It is an XML-based framework for communicating user authentication, entitlement, and attribute information. SAML is used to enable single sign-on (SSO) across different applications and organizations. It is also used to provide federated identity management, allowing users to access multiple applications with a single set of credentials. SAML is widely used in the IT security market, as it provides a secure and efficient way to authenticate users and authorize access to applications. It is also used to provide secure access to cloud-based applications and services. SAML is supported by many identity providers, including Microsoft, Google, and Okta, as well as many service providers. Some companies in the SAML market include Microsoft, Google, Okta, Ping Identity, OneLogin, Auth0, and ForgeRock. Show Less Read more
