This guide will show you how to use Microsoft SSO with Athena Control Center for Athena Weapons Detection System.
SAML v2.0 helps Athena Security share, or federate identities and services, without having to manage the identities or credentials themselves. The credentials are managed by a single entity (your company), known as the identity provider. The services are provided by service providers (Athena Security). Both providers are configured to trust one another.
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) v2.0 is a standard that enables users to access multiple services using only a single set of credentials. The services may be provided by different organizations, using multiple domains. In summary, SAML v2.0 provides cross-domain single sign-on (CDSSO).
For more information, see Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) v2.0.
