Protocols
SAML is defined in terms of assertions, protocols, bindings, and profiles.
SAML defines a number of request/response protocols. These protocols allow service providers to:
- request or query for an assertion
- ask for a subject to be authenticated
- create and manage name identifier mappings (for federating identities through account linking)
- request a near-simultaneous logout of a collection of related sessions ("single logout")
