SAML 2.0 web browser SSO profile (instance security hardening)
The com.snc.integration.sso.saml20.update1 plugin ensures that the status of the SAML 2.0 Single Sign-On plugin is active.
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an XML-based standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between security domains. SAML exchanges security information between an identity provider (a producer of assertions) and a Service Provider (a consumer of assertions).
The com.snc.integration.sso.saml20.update1 plugin is a required plugin, but you do not need to manually activate it. The sso.multi.installer installs all required SAML-related plugins, and also contains saml2 implementation scripts that provide options for response validation. To learn more, see the topics in References in More Information.
