Linking your SAML account to your website not only enables you to manage your visitors' login credentials—it also enables members of your website to access your Member Portal without being prompted to enter individual login credentials.

SAML single sign-on authentication involves a service provider and an identity provider. In this scenario, the service provider your Member Portal— created via Zoho Sites. When you've enabled SAML, the end-user management and authentication are handled through your company's identity provider (IDP). An end user who requests access to your website via your member portal will be redirected to your identity provider for authentication.

The identity provider authenticates the end user and in return, generates an authentication assertion. This indicates that a user has been authenticated. On receiving the assertion, the end user is redirected back to your website and signed in seamlessly.

Being a single point of authentication that happens with your trusted identity provider, SAML ensures that your end-user credentials are secure within your company's firewall boundary.

The third-party identity provider provides the configuration details for the SAML. Note that only the Site Owner and contributors with the Admin or Developer credentials can set up SAML single sign-on for the Member Portal for your Zoho Sites website.
