Relying party. A relying party (RP) is a computer term used to refer to a server providing access to a secured software application. Claims-based applications, where a claim is a statement an entity makes about itself in order to establish access, are also called relying party (RP) applications. RPs can also be called “claims aware ...
Relying party applications, such as web applications, outsource the user authentication step to a trusted identity provider. Such a relying party application is said to be federated, that is, it consumes federated identity. An identity provider is “a trusted provider that lets you use single sign-on (SSO) to access other websites.”
The OpenID logo. OpenID is an open standard and decentralized authentication protocol promoted by the non-profit OpenID Foundation.It allows users to be authenticated by co-operating sites (known as relying parties, or RP) using a third-party identity provider (IDP) service, eliminating the need for webmasters to provide their own ad hoc login systems, and allowing users to log in to multiple ...
Service provider (SAML) A SAML service provider is a system entity that receives and accepts authentication assertions in conjunction with a single sign-on (SSO) profile of the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). In the SAML domain model, a SAML relying party is any system entity that receives and accepts information from another system ...
Single sign-on. Single sign-on ( SSO) is an authentication scheme that allows a user to log in with a single ID to any of several related, yet independent, software systems. True single sign-on allows the user to log in once and access services without re-entering authentication factors. It should not be confused with same-sign on (Directory ...
3. Request the SSO Service at the IdP (SAML 2.0 only) The user agent issues a GET request to the SSO service at the URL from step 2. The SSO service processes the AuthnRequest (sent via the SAMLRequest URL query parameter) and performs a security check. If the user does not have a valid security context, the identity provider identifies the ...
Security Assertion Markup Language 2.0 (SAML 2.0) is a version of the SAML standard for exchanging authentication and authorization identities between security domains.SAML 2.0 is an XML-based protocol that uses security tokens containing assertions to pass information about a principal (usually an end user) between a SAML authority, named an Identity Provider, and a SAML consumer, named a ...
Identity provider (SAML) A SAML identity provider is a system entity that issues authentication assertions in conjunction with a single sign-on (SSO) profile of the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). In the SAML domain model, a SAML authority is any system entity that issues SAML assertions. [OS 1] Two important examples of SAML ...
