SAML is an XML–based standard for authentication and authorization, while OAuth is an open protocol to allow secure API authorization in a standardized way from web, mobile, and desktop applications. While SAML allows authentication to be used across multiple applications, OAuth is only for authorization. SAML is typically used with Single Sign–On (SSO) systems, which allow a user to access multiple applications in the same session, while OAuth is used to grant third–party access to an application without sharing passwords.
