SAML 1.1 Insights

What is SAML 1.1?

SAML 1.1 (Security Assertion Markup Language 1.1) is an older, XML-based standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between security domains. It allows web applications to securely authenticate users, even if the user identities are stored and managed by a different organization. SAML 1.1 is used to implement web-based single sign-on (SSO) and enables users to access multiple web applications after authenticating only once. It has largely been superseded by SAML 2.0, which is more flexible and secure.
