# SAML

The SAML service provides support for the SAML protocol to authorize clients and allow clients to obtain a requestor's authentication state. The SAML service implements functions to initiate SAML 2.0 single sign-on and single logout authentication flows.

For more information about SAML workflows, refer to [SAML 2.0](../../../auth/saml-2.0/index.html).
