安全断言标记语言（英语：SecurityAssertionMarkupLanguage，简称SAML，发音sam-el）是一个基于XML的开源标准数据格式，它在当事方之间交换身份验证和授权数据，尤其是在身份提供者和服务提供者之间交换。可以实现基于网络跨域的单点登录（SSO），以便于减少向一个用户分发多个身份验证令牌的管理开销。

SAML主体

在SAML协议中，涉及两个主体：

ServiceProvider服务提供方，简称SP。什么是服务提供方？例如：阿里云控制台、腾讯云控制台、AWS控制台这些都是服务提供方。

IdentityProvider身份提供方，简称IdP。什么是身份提供方？Authing可以作为身份提供方，身份提供方能够向SP发送身份断言，所谓身份断言就是由Authing签发的，可以标识某个人身份的Token，只不过，在SAML协议中，这个Token的格式是XML形式的。还有一些其他的身份提供方，例如Okta、SSOCircle、Auth0，他们都可以向SP返回身份断言。

两个主体通过用户的浏览器进行信息交换。方式上，SP可以返回带参数的重定向HTTP响应，让用户立刻通过参数将信息发给IdP。而IdP会返回一个表单，同时还有一段立即提交表单的JS代码，从而让用户立刻将信息发给SP。

总结一下，SP提供服务，需要知道用户的身份，就需要向IdP询问。IdP知道用户的身份，当用户在IdP登录成功，IdP就将用户的身份以SAML断言的形式发给SP。SP信任IdP发来的身份断言，从而赋予该用户在SP的相关权限。

SAMLRequest

当用户的身份无法鉴定时，SP会向IdP发送SAMLRequest信息（通过浏览器发送），请求IdP来鉴定用户身份。

由阿里云控制台发起一次SAMLRequest的形式是这样的：

GET

(提示：代码可向右滑动)

SAMLRequest参数通过query在URL中发送给IdP，SAMLRequest的内容如下：

SAMLResponse

IdP收到SAMLRequest后，会弹出登录框对用户身份进行认证：

当用户在IdP完成登录后，SAMLIdP将用户身份断言发送给SP（放在表单中，通过浏览器POST请求发送）。SAMLIdP的响应内容如下：

这段内容就是用户的身份断言，也就是用户的Token，只不过这个Token通过XML格式传递。

本文为读者讲述SAML中，SP、IdP、浏览器三个实体之间数据交互的流程。

SAML协议中涉及到的主体

使用SAML协议进行身份认证时，涉及到以下三个主体

浏览器：SP和IdP借助浏览器互相通信

SP：资源提供方

IdP：身份认证提供方

发起SAML登录到登录成功的整个过程

用户试图登录SP提供的应用。

SP生成SAMLRequest，通过浏览器重定向，向IdP发送SAMLRequest。

IdP解析SAMLRequest并将用户重定向到认证页面。

用户在认证页面完成登录。

IdP生成SAMLResponse，通过对浏览器重定向，向SP的ACS地址返回SAMLResponse，其中包含SAMLAssertion用于确定用户身份。

SP对SAMLResponse的内容进行检验。

用户成功登录到SP提供的应用。

SP与IdP之间通信方式

SP与IdP之间的通信方式分为HTTPRedirectBinding、HTTPPOSTBinding、HTTPArtifactBinding。每种方式在不同的阶段会用不同类型的HTTP与对方通信。

HTTPRedirectBinding

SP通过重定向GET请求把SAMLRequest发送到IdP，IdP通过立即提交的Form表单以POST请求的方式将SAMLResponse发到SP。

HTTPPOSTBinding

IdP通过立即提交的Form表单以POST请求的方式将SAMLRequest发到SP。IdP通过立即提交的Form表单以POST请求的方式将SAMLResponse发到SP。

HTTPArtifactBinding

SP、IdP双方只通过浏览器交换SAMLRequest、SAMLResponse的索引编号，收到编号后，在后端请求对方的ArtifactResolutionService接口来获取真正的请求实体内容。从而避免SAMLRequest、SAMLResponse暴露在前端。
