What is SAML SSO?

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) Single Sign-On (SSO) is a way for a user to access multiple applications with just one set of login credentials. SAML provides the following benefits:

• SAML improves the user experience, making it more convenient for users to access multiple sites and applications.
• SAML provides a higher level of security than traditional username and password authentication. The identity provider handles the authentication, which helps to prevent phishing attacks and password theft.
• SAML eliminates the need for users to maintain multiple sets of login credentials, which can reduce the burden on IT administrators who are responsible for managing user accounts.
• IT administrators can centrally manage access to applications, providing greater control and visibility into user activity across the organisation.
