SAML is an XML-based standard for web browser single sign-on (SSO) that eliminates application-specific passwords. SAML uses single-use, expiring, digital tokens to exchange authentication and authorization data between an Identity Provider (IdP) and Service Provider (SP) that have an established trust relationship.

Benefits of Implementing SSO

Implementing SSO provides time-saving benefits, major benefits include:

• Improved productivity by not entering password each time. Thus, saving time.
• Reduction in the frustration of multiple log-on events and forgotten passwords.
• Increased adoption where SSO reduces the barriers of use for resources. Since it is easier to access applications, users will start using them more.
• Centralized user access control where a single registry of user identities with a centralized management interface allows quick and easy provisioning and deactivating of users.
• Improved reporting and monitoring through a single repository for auditing and logging access to resources provides streamlined regulatory compliance.
• Increased security through a secure, enterprise-wide infrastructure with common password and security policies that can be centrally managed and secured.

How SAML Works?

SAML provides a secure, XML-based solution for exchanging user security information between an identity provider (your company) and a service provider (adeptia.com). There are three roles involved:

...

The IdP stores information about the user in a database.  The user connects to SP and SP delegates authentication request to IdP. The IdP validates the user against its identity database. It then sends a SAML assertion about that user to the service provider. The SP then gives the user access to the application.

1. Create Users users in Adeptia and same users exist in Company's IdP server with same name. 
2. Company's user access Adeptia Login page and Adeptia calls Company IdP via SAML for authentication.
3. If user is already logged into Company's IdP then Adeptia receives a SAML response with logged in User ID.
4. Adeptia takes the User ID and fetches the user information from the Adeptia User Management and logs the user into Adeptia.
