SAML | OAUTH |
---|---|
SAML stands for Security Assertion Markup Language | OAuth stands for Open Authorization |
This is an authentication process | This is an authorization process |
SAML tends to be specific to a user | OAuth tends to be specific to an application |
SAML is a bit like a house key which grants you access to the facility | OAuth is a bit like the rules of the house that dictate what the person can and can't do once inside |
This involves a user's identity | This involves a user's privileges |
SAML is an industry-standard for federated authentication | OAuth is a framework that controls authorization |
