Entity ID; Protocol endpoints (bindings and locations) Every SAML system entity has an entity ID, a globally-unique identifier used in software configurations, relying-party databases, and client-side cookies. On the wire, every SAML protocol message contains the entity ID of the issuer.
A SAML identity provider is a system entity that issues 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 authority is any system entity that issues SAML assertions.
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.
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 ...

An important type of SAML authority is the SAML identity provider, a system entity that issues authentication assertions in conjunction with an SSO profile of SAML. [ OS 2 ] A relying party that consumes such assertions is called a SAML service provider (or simply service provider if the domain is understood).
In the SAML domain model, an identity provider is a special type of authentication authority. Specifically, a SAML identity provider is a system entity that issues authentication assertions in conjunction with an SSO profile of SAML. A relying party that consumes these authentication assertions is called a SAML service provider. [citation needed]
A federated identity in information technology is the means of linking a person's electronic identity and attributes, stored across multiple distinct identity management systems. [ 1 ] Federated identity is related to single sign-on (SSO), in which a user's single authentication ticket, or token , is trusted across multiple IT systems or even ...
