When SAML tokens are serialized in messages, either when they are issued by a security token service or when they are presented by clients to services as part of authentication, the maximum message size quota must be sufficiently large to accommodate the SAML token and the other message parts.

The IdP authenticates the user, provides an assertion, and redirects the user back to the BIG-IP APM (the SP) via the client (often a browser). BIG-IP APM then parses and validates the assertion. To do so, the access policy will connect to the SAML user directory (the IdP).

From Claims to SamlAttributes. In WCF, statements in SAML tokens are modeled as SamlAttribute objects, which can be populated directly from Claim objects, provided the Claim object has a Right property of PossessProperty and the Resource property is of type String. For example:

SAML assertions The token or cookie used to authenticate a user or the security information that is exchanged between the SP and IdP. Bindings How the information is exchanged or messaged, for instance, HTTP POST. Profiles The detailed SAML use cases, like web browser SSO profile.

Statistics show that 35 to 50 percent of help desk calls are related to password problems, with each call costing a company between $25 and $50 per request. Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an XML-based standard that allows secure web domains to exchange user authentication and authorization data.

A user with a user agent, typically a web browser, requests some web content which is guarded by a SAML service provider. The service provider, needing to know the identity of the requesting user, sends an authentication request to a SAML identity provider using the web browser (the user agent).

By default, SAML tokens Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) uses in federated security scenarios are issued tokens. SAML tokens carry statements that are sets of claims made by one entity about another entity. For example, in federated security scenarios, the statements are made by a security token service about a user in the system.

resource has been granted or denied. An assertion consists of one or more statements. For single sign-on, a typical SAML assertion will contain a single authentication statement and possibly a single attribute statement.

SAML is defined in terms of assertions, protocols, bindings, and profiles. An assertion is a package of information that supplies one or more statements made by a SAML authority. SAML defines three different kinds of assertion statement that can be created by a SAML authority:
