SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is an open standard for exchanging authentication and authorization information between parties, in particular, between an identity provider and a service provider. It allows users to securely log into a service provider with an authentication provider, such as an identity provider, without the need to share passwords.
OAuth (Open Authorization) is an open-standard authorization protocol that provides applications a secure delegated access to server resources on behalf of a resource owner. It works by allowing users to securely grant third-party access to their web resources without sharing their passwords. OAuth enables clients to access server resources on behalf of a resource owner (such as a different client or an end-user) and with the approval of the resource owner.
The key difference between SAML and OAuth is that SAML is used for authentication and authorization while OAuth is used for authorization only. In other words, SAML is used to establish user identity while OAuth is used to grant access to resources.
SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is an XML–based standard for exchanging authentication and authorization information between two parties. It is mainly used by organizations to authenticate users of web applications, cloud resources and other services.
OAuth (Open Authorization) is an open protocol that allows users to share their private data with third–party applications using a secure authorization mechanism.
