SAML 2.0 Certified Identity Management Solutions

SAML or Security Assertion Markup Language, provides a recognized standard for establishing authentication assertions. SAML is significant in identity management planning because an implementation that conforms to both Liberty Alliance and SAML standards makes it possible to maximize the number of potential partners and service providers.

Symlabs Federated Identity Suite is SAML 2.0 certified

In July 2005, at the first certification event of its kind, Symlabs Federated Identity Suite was awarded OASIS SAML 2.0 conformance certification for for all available profiles, including IdP (Identity Provider), IdP Extended, SP (Service Provider), SP Extended, ECP (Enhanced Client Profile), plus SAML Authority and SAML Requester for attributes, authorization, and authentication.

SAML is just one of the protocol standards for identity management software. In order to accommodate the greatest number of potential partners, an ideal identity management implementation must be able to support all of the main identity federation protocols, including Liberty ID-FF, Liberty ID-WSF and WS-Federation.

Besides its OASIS certification, Symlabs Federated Identity Suite software proudly carries the Liberty Interoperable banner to indicate that it is also certified for Liberty ID-FF 1.2 and Liberty ID-WSF 2.0 & 1.1. And, has demonstrated that it has established interoperability with WS-Federation 1.0 Passive Requestor Profile. This out-of-box ability to support multiple federation protocols makes it easier to build and grow large circle of trust federations and to provide more complete service offerings to clients. In other words, increased protocol support means a corresponding increase in the size and completeness of your identity federation.
