What is SAML?
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an open standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, in particular, between an identity provider (IdP) and a service provider (SP). SAML is commonly used for Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions, allowing users to access multiple web applications with one set of credentials.
What other technologies are related to SAML?
SAML Competitor Technologies
OAuth
OAuth is an authorization framework often used as an alternative to SAML for granting access to resources, particularly APIs. It focuses on authorization rather than authentication like SAML.
OIDC
OIDC (OpenID Connect) is an identity layer on top of OAuth 2.0. While often used in conjunction, OIDC provides authentication capabilities that can overlap with SAML's use cases, especially in web applications and APIs.
OpenID Connect
OpenID Connect is an identity layer on top of OAuth 2.0. While often used in conjunction, OpenID Connect provides authentication capabilities that can overlap with SAML's use cases, especially in web applications and APIs.
OpenID
OpenID is an authentication protocol that predates OIDC but serves a similar purpose of allowing users to authenticate across multiple websites with a single identity. It can be considered a competitor to SAML for web-based authentication.
OAuth2
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework often used as an alternative to SAML for granting access to resources, particularly APIs. It focuses on authorization rather than authentication like SAML.
WS-Fed
WS-Federation (WS-Fed) is a web services federation protocol that, like SAML, enables SSO and identity federation. It is an alternative to SAML, although less widely adopted now.
OAuth 2.0
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework often used as an alternative to SAML for granting access to resources, particularly APIs. It focuses on authorization rather than authentication like SAML.

SAML Complementary Technologies
SSO
SSO (Single Sign-On) is a broader concept that SAML helps to implement. SAML is a protocol that enables SSO, making them complementary technologies.
SCIM
SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) is a standard for automating user provisioning and deprovisioning, which can be used in conjunction with SAML-based SSO to manage user identities across different systems.
Okta
Okta is an Identity Provider (IdP) that supports SAML, among other protocols. It facilitates SAML-based SSO for applications.
