SAML SSO Steps

SSO Steps

1. User accesses a custom application for the first time
2. Service Provider Security Filter checks if the security context is available 
and redirects the user to IDP (Identity Provider) with a SAML SSO request
3. IDP challenges the user with the authentication dialog and redirects the user to
Request Assertion Consumer Service (RACS) after the user has authenticated
4. RACS validates the response from IDP, establishes a security context and redirects the user 
to the original application endpoint
5. Service Provider Security Filter enforces that a valid security context is available and lets the user
access the custom application.
