Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) Protocol

The Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) protocol is an open-standard, XML-based framework for authentication and authorization between two entities without a password:

• A Service Provider (SP) agrees to trust the identity provider to authenticate users.
• An Identity Provider (IdP) authenticates users and provides service providers an authentication assertion that indicates a user has been authenticated.

In this scenario, Lyve Cloud is a Service Provider that will connect with your organization's Identity Provider to establish a Single Sign-On (SSO) access to your users.
