Security Assertion Markup Language 2.0 (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 ...
SAML specifies the content of the assertion that is passed from the IdP to the SP. In SAML, one identity provider may provide SAML assertions to many service providers. Similarly, one SP may rely on and trust assertions from many independent IdPs. [citation needed] SAML does not specify the method of authentication at the identity provider.
A given SAML identity provider is described by an <md:IDPSSODescriptor> element defined by the SAML metadata schema. [OS 3] Likewise, a SAML service provider is described by an <md:SPSSODescriptor> metadata element. In addition to an authentication assertion, a SAML identity provider may also include an attribute assertion in the response.
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is a set of specifications that encompasses the XML-format for security tokens containing assertions to pass information about a user and protocols and profiles to implement authentication and authorization scenarios.
If you are new to SAML, you should probably read the introductory SAML topic first, and then the SAMLOverview [3] document from OASIS. Prior to SAML 1.1, SAML 1.0 was adopted as an OASIS standard in November 2002. SAML has undergone one minor (V1.1) and one major revision (V2.0) since V1.0, which itself is a relatively simple protocol.
A SAML service provider is a system entity that receives and accepts authentication assertions in conjunction with a single sign-on (SSO) profile of the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). In the SAML domain model, a SAML relying party is any system entity that receives and accepts information from another system entity.
Technically, eduGAIN is managed by aggregating and distributing signed SAML 2.0 metadata files. To join eduGAIN, the parent organisation of a federation must sign the eduGAIN policy declaration [ 1 ] and submit it to the TERENA Secretariat for the attention of the eduGAIN Operations Team.
