SAML single sign-on authentication

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is a framework for authentication and authorization between a service provider (SP) and an identity provider (IDP) where authentication is exchanged using digitally signed XML documents. The service provider agrees to trust the identity provider to authenticate users. In return, the identity provider generates an authentication assertion, which indicates that a user has been authenticated.

By using the SAML authentication feature, you can easily integrate QRadar® with your corporate identity server to provide single sign-on, and eliminate the need to maintain QRadar local users. Users who are authenticated to your identity server can automatically authenticate to QRadar. They don't need to remember separate passwords or type in credentials every time they access QRadar.

QRadar is fully compatible with SAML 2.0 web SSO profile as a service provider. It supports both SP and IDP initiated single sign-on and single logout.
