Nowadays, an increasing number of companies are requiring SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) that want to work with them to be compatible with their SSO (Single Sign-On). Indeed, SSO is a means for companies to reinforce authentication and access security.

Single Sign-On, better known as SSO, is a method that allows users to log in with a single password to various (internal or external) software systems that their company offers to work with.

Active Directory is the implementation by Microsoft of LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) directory services for Windows operating systems. 

If you’re a SaaS and have been working with big companies, you have probably heard of SAML. When it comes to the requests that are made in terms of SSO authentication, SAML is a widely used language indeed.
