What happens under the hood during SAML 2.0 Single Sign-On Authentication ? How is RSAEncryption and Digital Signatures used in SAML? Join me in exploring SAML 2.0 using a step-by-step and Hands-On approach to learning and enroll in this Bestselling course on SAML 2.0. Regular updates with latest material, quick Instructor replies and excellent reviews.

SAML 2.0 is an XML based standard for exchanging Authentication and Authorization information across Security domains. This makes it ideal for applications that need to be deployed in Cloud environments like Amazon AWS, Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure. Most enterprises have an implementation of SAML 2.0 and this is used in cases where applications deployed in cloud environments (or Local Data centers) need to integrate with Enterprise Identity datastores like Active Directory.

  • Understand about Identity Brokers and Identity Access Management

  • How to configure Identity Brokers in Okta with example in Spring Boot


This course will give you a comprehensive understanding of Authentication Architectures and will make a case for why SAML 2.0 is necessary - especially in the Cloud environment. Along with SAML 2.0 theory, this course will use Okta as a Cloud based SAML 2.0 Identity Provider to learn how to construct SAML requests by hand and how to analyze the SAML responses. A section has been dedicated to SAML Identity Brokers which has become important in today's enterprises. You will also get a good overall understanding of URL Encoding, Base64 Encoding, Hashing, Symmetric Encryption, Asymmetric Encryption and Digital Signatures. Never again would you be confused about RSA, AES, SHA-256 and what role they play in Cryptography. We will demonstrate all of these using openssl command line tool.

For Java Spring Boot Developers, there is an entire section with explanation on how to integrate with Okta ( or any other SAML Identity Provider). We will use the latest Spring Boot (2.7 and 3.3) and latest Java ( Java 17 or Higher) to create a project with Single Sign On (SSO) and Single Log Out (SLO). Spring Boot applications fully tested with Spring Boot 2.7.x, 3.3.x and Java 19. Code includes full support for Spring Boot 3.3

By the end of the course, you will get an excellent grasp of SAML 2.0 and its relationship with HTTP Sessions and Cryptography. With this deep understanding of SAML 2.0 protocol, you will be able to write applications or deploy tools to integrate with the SAML Identity Providers with no problems.


REMEMBER… I'm so confident that you'll love this course that we're offering a FULL money-back guarantee for 30 days! So it's a complete no-brainer, sign up today with ZERO risk and EVERYTHING to gain.
