Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an XML-based standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between security domains. The Service Provider must enroll with an Identity Provider and obtain an Issuer URL.
How it Works
First, Single Sign-On Settings are configured for SAML in the platform, then a link to the LongJump Platform is created in the corporate website/portal. (The link can be named or branded in any way, as specified by the Service Provider.)
When users who are logged into the enterprise app click that link, they are automatically logged into the LongJump Platform, without requiring additional authentication.
For example, an employee of ABC Company logs into the corporate website, which includes a link to the LongJump Platform on the landing page. The user clicks the link and is automatically logged in, without requiring a second login.
