Topic: SAML 2.0 for Dummies

In this presentation, Michael and Paul will introduce the SAML 2.0 protocol by way of two examples:

• Using the web browser SSO Profile to provide federated sign-on, and
• Using the WSS SAML Token Profile to authenticate web services.

They will outline why you should consider using SAML when implementing controls in your organisation.

NOTE: Despite the title, a basic understanding of web protocols and web applications will be assumed for this presentation.
