SAML is an XML-based open standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between an identity provider and a service provider, enabling single sign-on (SSO) across web applications. It is widely used by enterprises and IT administrators to let employees log into multiple corporate applications with one set of credentials, reducing password fatigue and centralizing access control.
