You’ve probably visited a web site that provided authentication using a 3rd-party service, and it may have been using the Security Association Markup Language (SAML) to accomplish this. In this video, you’ll learn how SAML can be used to authenticate to one set of resources by using a completely different authentication provider.
Most organizations maintain a centralized database that’s used for authentication, user identification, and many other purposes. In this video, you’ll learn how LDAP and Secure LDAP can be used to efficiently manage these large user databases.
