SAML

SAML

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an open standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between one Identity Provider (IdP) and one or more Service Providers (SP). Both parties exchange messages using the XML protocol as transport.

When SSO is enabled, you can configure FortiSandbox to be the Service Provider. Users created with the IdP for SAML can log into FortiSandbox to be authenticated and authorized. After authentication, the user does not need to provide their credentials again, as long as the admin is using the same browser session.

The first time an SSO user logs in, FortiSandbox automatically creates a new SSO administrator to store the user. The SSO user's access rights are defined by the FortiSandbox admin profile. The default SSO user admin profile is Read-Only. For information about profiles, see Admin Profiles
