The name SAML is the acronym of Security
Assertion Markup Language which was launched way
back in 2001. aIt is an open standard secure
XML-based communication mechanism for
communicating identities between organizations.
The key thing about SAML is the primary use case
it enables, which is Internet SSO. It is a
standard for federated Single Sign-On (SSO)
between identity providers and service providers.
Users authenticate at the identity provider in
federated single sign-on. Identification
providers assert identity information, which is
used by service providers.

• SAML 2.0, launched in 2005, is supported by AWS
  for identity federation. It allows users to
  connect to the AWS Management Console or call AWS
  API operations without having to create an IAM
  user for each person in your company. Because you
  may utilize the IdP service instead of
  implementing bespoke identity proxy code,
  adopting SAML simplifies the process of
  configuring federation with AWS. It can be used
  for both authentication and authorization
• Why SAML 2.0?
• SAML is important because
• SAML improves security by removing the need for
  extra credentials, reducing the risk of identity
  theft. It also reduces the number of times a user
  must log in via the internet using one of those
  username login forms, reducing the risk of
  phishing.
• SAML also improves application access by removing
  obstacles to use, so users don't have to enter in
  their password instead, they just click on a
  link in the app.
• Along with these, SAML also saves time and money
  by removing the need for duplicate credentials
  and reducing the number of visits to the help
  desk to reset forgotten passwords.a

How does SAML work?

The SAML protocol has three entities User-Agent
 This is the users web browser. Service
Provider The application which we try to
access. Identity Provider Also referred to as
IdP.  You create a trust connection between the
service provider and the identity provider when
you configure SAML Federation. In order to access
a service provider, a user must first
authenticate with the IDP. The IDP creates a SAML
assertion (which is a claim) if the user
successfully authenticates and is authorized. The
assertion is sent to the application, and the
user is granted access since the application
trusts the IDP. Now that the user has been
authenticated by the IDP, he or she may utilize a
single sign-on to access additional apps. AWS
