This document provides an introduction to Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0, including:
- SAML is an XML-based standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties like an identity provider and service provider.
- It defines roles like identity providers, service providers, and users.
- SAML supports single sign-on, attribute sharing, identity federation, and other use cases through protocols, bindings, and profiles.
- Liferay supports acting as an identity provider or service provider using SAML through an enterprise edition plugin, allowing configuration as an IdP or SP through properties and metadata files.
- The presentation demonstrates SAML single sign-on flows and configurations using examples
