Using SAML
What is SAML?
SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is a standard that allows a form of authentication of a person on one or more applications, where the source of the authentication information is an Identity Provider (IDP) and the application wishing to authenticate the user is a Service Provider (SP).
SAML has been discontinued at Mydex CIC
SAML is a mature standard, but over time, other protocols or standards such as OpenIDConnect have emerged as being arguably more secure, modern, and flexible alternatives.
As of November 2024, Mydex CIC no longer offers SAML to organisations wishing to use the Mydex Identity Services to authenticate members to their applications. We strongly recommend using our OpenIDConnect offering instead.
If you are new to OpenIDConnect and need assistance with integration, please contact us to discuss your needs further.
