Basics

SAML exposes a large number of options. This documentation walks through them one step at a time:

• SSO fundamentals for newcomers
• Default environment settings
• Configuring a service provider
• Configuring an identity provider
• Sending a SAML request
• Parsing a SAML response
• Integrating with common identity providers and service providers (examples)

This basic tutorial covers the simplest configuration — no signature, no encryption. Real-world deployments are more involved; those topics are covered in the Advanced section.
