SAML 2.0 supports W3C XML encryption and service-provider–initiated web browser single sign-on exchanges. [21] A user wielding a user agent (usually a web browser) is called the subject in SAML-based single sign-on. The user requests a web resource protected by a SAML service provider.
SSO enhances usability by reducing password fatigue. It also provides better security by decreasing the potential attack surface . Identity providers can facilitate connections between cloud computing resources and users, thus decreasing the need for users to re-authenticate when using mobile and roaming applications.
3. Request the SSO Service at the IdP (SAML 2.0 only) The user agent issues a GET request to the SSO service at the URL from step 2. The SSO service processes the AuthnRequest (sent via the SAMLRequest URL query parameter) and performs a security check. If the user does not have a valid security context, the identity provider identifies the ...

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 is a version of the SAML standard for exchanging authentication and authorization identities between security domains.SAML 2.0 is an XML-based protocol that uses security tokens containing assertions to pass information about a principal (usually an end user) between a SAML authority, named an Identity Provider, and a SAML consumer, named a Service ...
Web access management (WAM) [1] is a form of identity management that controls access to web resources, providing authentication management, policy-based authorizations, audit and reporting services (optional) and single sign-on convenience. Authentication management is the process of determining a user’s (or application’s) identity.
The Central Authentication Service (CAS) is a single sign-on protocol for the web. [1] Its purpose is to permit a user to access multiple applications while providing their credentials (such as user ID and password) only once.
A SAML authentication authority that participates in one or more SSO Profiles of SAML [OS 2] is called a SAML identity provider (or simply identity provider if the domain is understood). For example, an authentication authority that participates in SAML Web Browser SSO is an identity provider that performs the following essential tasks:
