SAML
(Security Assertion Markup Language)
A standard for passing trusted login information from one system to another
What's it for?
Lets people sign in once and then open other trusted business applications without entering another password.
For example…
After logging into the company IdP, the HR system accepts a SAML assertion and opens without asking for another password.
A company uses SAML so employees authenticate with the corporate identity provider and then open an enterprise application without another login
Think of it like…
Stamped visitor pass: the front desk verifies you, then other floors accept that stamp
