Nowadays,the federated authentication in distributed environment is becoming more and more important.The Security Assertion Markup Language(SAML) not only is an important standardized criterion for this new authentication method,but also is a XML frame based on Single Sign-On(SSO) standard,which enables the exchange of authentication,authorization and other information between different entities.This paper introduces the developing process of a custom SAML identity assertion provider and its realization in detail.Once the SAML token is trusted and authenticated,the holder of the token can access all application systems and does not need authentication any more.
