The user’s identity is enrolled in each of the systems (directories) to which the SSO provides access the user has credentials (and therefore roles and authorities) for each system behind the SSO. With SSO, a user is uniquely recognized by each of the organizations that leverage SSO, but they all agree to trust a single sign-on. Both SSO and Federation can leverage multi-factor authentication however, each solution has advantages and disadvantages as it relates to strong authentication. However, SSO and Federation work quite differently behind the scenes and, therefore, call for different authentication protocols. Identity provider-initiated SSO is similar and consists of only the bottom half of the flow.Single Sign-On (SSO) and Federated systems appear the same to the end user – with each, he logs in once and can then use multiple systems or applications without having to log in again. The diagram below illustrates the single sign-on flow for service provider-initiated SSO, i.e. The identity of the user is established and the user is provided with app access. The service provider, which already knows the identity provider and has a certificate fingerprint, retrieves the authentication response and validates it using the certificate fingerprint. The identity provider builds the authentication response in the form of an XML-document containing the user’s username or email address, signs it using an X.509 certificate, and posts this information to the service provider. The user either has an existing active browser session with the identity provider or establishes one by logging into the identity provider. The application identifies the user’s origin (by application subdomain, user IP address, or similar) and redirects the user back to the identity provider, asking for authentication. The user accesses the remote application using a link on an intranet, a bookmark, or similar and the application loads. The user wants to log in to a remote application, such as a support or accounting application (the service provider). This is done through an exchange of digitally signed XML documents.Ĭonsider the following scenario: A user is logged into a system that acts as an identity provider. SAML SSO works by transferring the user’s identity from one place (the identity provider) to another (the service provider). We’ve come up with a simple setup that will work for most applications. OneLogin’s open-source SAML toolkits can help you integrate SAML in hours, instead of months. SAML is very powerful and flexible, but the specification can be quite a handful. It makes sense to use this information to log users in to other applications, such as web-based applications, and one of the more elegant ways of doing this is by using SAML. Most organizations already know the identity of users because they are logged in to their Active Directory domain or intranet. This single sign-on (SSO) login standard has significant advantages over logging in using a username/password: Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is a standard for logging users into applications based on their sessions in another context.
