Single Sign-On to SOA Applications Using SAML SSO Web Profile

In TIBCO ActiveMatrix and SOA applications, you can implement single sign-on (SSO) by using Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) SSO Web Profile. SAML 2.0 is a version of the SAML standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between security domains. SAML 2.0 enables web-based, cross-domain single sign-on (SSO), which helps reduce the administrative overhead of distributing multiple authentication tokens to the user.

SSO can be enabled only on applications that contain WebApp Implementation Type (IT) endpoints. To enable SSO, you must apply the SAML SSO Web Profile Authentication Policy to the application.
