In SAML SSO login, the user only needs to authenticate once with the IDP, and subsequent access to multiple SPs (or applications) can be granted without requiring additional login credentials. This eliminates the need for users to remember and manage multiple usernames and passwords because only a single set of credentials can be used to access multiple applications. SAML SSO enhances user convenience by eliminating the need for repeated logins. It also improves security by centralizing authentication with the IDP and reducing the risk of weak or compromised passwords. Furthermore, SAML supports identity federation, allowing organizations to establish trust relationships with external partners or service providers.
XML-based open standard protocol, SAML, or Security Assertion Markup Language is used to enable secure authentication and authorization exchange between identity providers or IDPs (Facilitator of authentication) and service providers or SPs (the application) in a distributed system by establishing a trust relationship. This process of authentication is called Single Sign-On (SSO).
SAML assertions are XML documents that contain information about the user's identity and attributes. When a user attempts to access an SP, it redirects them to the IDP for authentication. After successful SAML authentication, the IDP generates a SAML assertion that is digitally signed and sends it back to the SP. The SP verifies the signature and extracts the user's identity and attributes from the assertion.
SAML SSO streamlines the user login process as users only need to authenticate once with the Identity Provider (IDP) and then access multiple Service Providers (SPs) or Applications. This seamless experience improves user productivity and reduces password fatigue.
The user access management process to various applications is simplified by SAML SSO. When an employee joins an organization or changes roles, provisioning or de-provisioning their access can be handled centrally by the IDP. This reduces administrative overhead and ensures timely and accurate access management.
Your users can easily access all On-Premise & Cloud applications seamlessly using a single set of credentials because the deployment of the SAML SSO solution supports On-Premise, Cloud & Hybrid environments. You can easily enable SAML SSO for both On-premise & Cloud-based apps.
SAML SSO supports identity federation, enabling organizations to establish trust relationships with external partners, vendors, or service providers. This allows for secure collaboration and seamless access to shared resources across organizational boundaries, without the need for separate user accounts.
The use of standardized protocols and XML-based assertions in the SAML SSO process facilitates compliance with security and regulatory requirements. Organizations can monitor and analyze SAML transactions to ensure compliance and detect any potential security incidents.
SAML Authentication or SAML Single Sign-On Authentication process involves several steps in order to authenticate the user's identity and authorize him to access the application they are attempting to access. The SAML SSO process makes sure that the user is who they claim to be while blocking imposters from getting access to the application or resources. The entire process is broken down into several steps below.

Security and Compliance factors enforce organizations to prove that they have taken adequate security measures to protect sensitive data. Single Sign-On (SSO) helps with regulatory compliance to meet data access and security risk protection requirements.
Enabling SSO allows users to manage individual dashboards and self-reset passwords, which eliminates the necessity for IT support, saves admin time on password resets, and supports tickets to focus on more important tasks. This helps in reducing IT costs.
SSO authentication ensures that only authorized users get access to sensitive data. With Single Sign-On you can implement password policies like Password length, complexity, restrictions on password reuse, session timeout and self-service password reset policy to strengthen security without holding up your users access.

"Nahdi wanted to adopt SSO, and they were using Siebel CRM, but it didn't support any SSO protocols. Changing the entire CRM system and transferring data from one CRM to another is a time-consuming job....."
OAuth and SAML are two different protocols used for authentication and authorization in different scenarios. OAuth is primarily focused on delegated authorization, involving the exchange of access tokens between the client application, the resource owner (user), and the resource server (API). SAML, on the other hand, is designed for Single Sign-On (SSO) and federated identity management and operates by exchanging XML-based security assertions between an identity provider (IDP) and a service provider (SP). miniOrange solution supports both SAML & OAuth protocols along with other popular protocols for SSO, MFA & Provisioning.
SAML authentication and user authorization are not the same thing. SAML authentication refers to the process of verifying the identity of a user. User authorization, on the other hand, deals with granting or denying access to resources or functionalities based on the authenticated user's permissions.
Once a user's identity has been authenticated, the service provider (SP) or application determines what the user is authorized to do and what resources they can access. miniOrange SAML SSO solution provides both Authentication and Authorization capabilities.
