Overview of this book

Microsoft Azure and its Identity and access management are at the heart of Microsoft's software as service products, including Office 365, Dynamics CRM, and Enterprise Mobility Management. It is crucial to master Microsoft Azure in order to be able to work with the Microsoft Cloud effectively. You’ll begin by identifying the benefits of Microsoft Azure in the field of identity and access management. Working through the functionality of identity and access management as a service, you will get a full overview of the Microsoft strategy. Understanding identity synchronization will help you to provide a well-managed identity. Project scenarios and examples will enable you to understand, troubleshoot, and develop on essential authentication protocols and publishing scenarios. Finally, you will acquire a thorough understanding of Microsoft Information protection technologies.

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0

SAML is the foundation for much of the current identity federation activity. SAML 2.0 is preceded by SAML 1.0 and 1.1. SAML 1.1 was released in 2003 and had just two scenarios (also known as profiles), and both were IdP-initiated. Shibboleth 1.3 and Liberty Alliance—WS-FF 1.2 extended SAML 1.1, and SAML 2.0 was released by OASIS in 2005.

The following table shows the SAML core principles:

Assertions Protocols Bindings
Package of identity
information		 Request/response based Associates a message (protocol)
with transport (communication
mechanism)
Synonym token Defines the messaging
requirements		 Examples:
  • HTTP Redirect
  • HTTP POST
  • HTTP Artifact
  • SOAP
XML-based Examples:
  • Authentication request
  • Single logout
  • Artifact resolution

 

In the next section, we will talk about the key facts of the SAML 2.0 protocol...
