    Definition

    What is SAML?

    SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is an open standard that lets an identity provider securely tell an application that a user is authenticated, commonly used to enable single sign-on.

    SAML is one of the main protocols behind enterprise SSO. When a user tries to access an app, the app trusts an identity provider to authenticate them; the provider sends back a signed SAML assertion confirming who they are.

    Because the assertion is digitally signed, the receiving application can trust it without ever seeing the user's password. This keeps credentials in one place and makes access easy to centrally control.

    Atlas supports SAML-based SSO so enterprises can connect the workspace to their existing identity provider and manage access centrally.
