Welcome to this Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about Security Assertion for Markup Language (SAML) Single Sign-On (SSO) for Cisco Unified Communications 10.x.
SAML is an Extensible Markup Language (XML)–based open standard data format that enables administrators to access a defined set of Cisco collaboration applications transparently after signing into one of those applications. SAML describes the exchange of security-related information between trusted business partners. It is an authentication protocol used by service providers (for example, Cisco Unified Communications Manager) to authenticate a user. SAML enables exchange of security authentication information between an identity provider (IdP) and a service provider.
