What is SAML 2.0?
SAML 2.0 (Security Assertion Markup Language 2.0) is an open standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between security domains, namely between an Identity Provider (IdP) and a Service Provider (SP). It allows users to log in once and access multiple web applications without re-entering credentials. It's commonly used for Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions and federated identity management.
