# Access SAML
Security Assertion Markup (English: Security Assertion Markup Language, abbreviated as SAML, pronounced sam-el) is an XML-based open source standard data format that exchanges authentication and authorization data between parties, especially between identity providers and service providers. SAML 2.0 can realize single sign-on (SSO) based on network and cross domain, in order to reduce the management overhead of distributing multiple authentication tokens to a user.
# Introduction to SAML 2.0 Protocol
Before configuring SAML, understanding some basic concepts will be very helpful for subsequent configuration and debugging. It is strongly recommended to read this chapter.
# SAML body
In the SAML agreement, two subjects are involved:
Service Provider Service Provider, referred to as SP. What is a service provider? For example: Alibaba Cloud console, Tencent Cloud console, and AWS console are all service providers.
Identity Provider Identity Provider, referred to as IdP. What is an identity provider? Authing can be used as an identity provider. The identity provider can send an identity assertion to the SP. The so-called identity assertion is issued by Authing, which can identify a person's Token, but in In the SAML protocol, the format of this token is in XML format. There are other identity providers, such as Okta, SSOCircle, Auth0, and they can all return identity assertions to the SP.
The two subjects exchange information through the user's browser. In this way, the SP can return a redirected HTTP response with parameters, allowing the user to immediately send the information to the IdP through the parameters. The IdP will return a form, along with a JS code that immediately submits the form, so that the user can immediately send the information to the SP.
To sum up, SP provides services and needs to know the identity of the user, so it needs to ask the IdP. The IdP knows the user's identity. When the user successfully logs in to the IdP, the IdP will send the user's identity to the SP in the form of SAML assertion. The SP trusts the identity assertion sent by the IdP, thereby granting the user relevant rights in the SP.
# SAML Request
When the user's identity cannot be authenticated, the SP will send a SAML Request message (sent through the browser) to the IdP, requesting the IdP to authenticate the user's identity.
The form of a SAML Request initiated by Alibaba Cloud Console is as follows:
GET https://core.authing.cn/v2/api/saml-idp/5e10927e4ecfd464fb4edaf6?SAMLRequest=fZJLT%2BMwFIX3%2FIrI%2B7yct9Wk6kyFQGJERQKL2RnnJnWV2Blfp2L%2BPaGlDLOApaV7vnN0jlfrl3FwjmBQalWS0AuIA0roVqq%2BJI%2FNtZuTdXW1Qj4OdGKb2e7VA%2FyZAa2zQQRjF91PrXAewdRgjlLA48NdSfbWTsh8H2WvpPL4IP%2FOyhN69N9Qfl3fE2e7UKTi9mR9EQhtwOOLz5LAE8o%2FUp9P8qRyZTv5CYRBQTOIQXRtnMbdcwwt71LiXGsj4JSwJB0fEIhzuy0Jp9AXgvaHgwzzPA%2FjfXagbRYlebeP%2BmI5wh1HlEf4J0Oc4Vah5cqWhAY0cIPCpXkTRiwoWJJ5eZH%2BJs7OaKuFHn5IdS5sNoppjhKZ4iMgs4LVm193jHoBez4fIbtpmp27u68b4jxdiqdvxS9TKGTnqr9nTe%2FGpDovw06JzWfC9wB %2B2Y5UXy8VRlmcpkWUpUlGY5p8TLfyP7tW78%2F%2Fv0f1Cg%3D%3D

# SAML Response
After the IdP receives the SAML Request, a login box will pop up to authenticate the user:
After the user logs in at the IdP, the SAML IdP sends the user identity assertion to the SP (placed in the form and sent through the browser POST request). The response content of the SAML IdP is as follows:

这段内容就是用户的身份断言，也就是用户的 Token，只不过这个 Token 通过 XML 格式传递。
