📄️ Overview
The SAML authentication flow involves two steps:
📄️ Authentication request
An AuthnRequest is sent by the SP to the IdP to initiate the authentication flow. The IdP receives and processes it, then authenticates the user.
📄️ Authentication response
After authenticating the user, the IdP sends an AuthnResponse to the SP's ACS endpoint. The SP then reads the response to retrieve the user's identity and attributes.
