Security Assertion Markup Language(Q1758048) is an XML-based format and protocol for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties.
Security Assertion Markup Language or SAML in short, is an XML-based solution to specify authentication and authorization workflows in modern IT systems. The main application of SAML has to do with SSO or Federated Identity Management. It is being replaced by OpenID Connect, but still plays an important role in currently operated IT systems as of 2022.
