Exam 500-220 topic 1 question 7 discussion

This is the SAML process flow: Auth0 = Identity Provider (could be any identity management platform) Meraki Dashboar = Service Provider 1.The user tries to log in to Meraki Dashboard from a browser. 2. Dahboard responds by generating a SAML request. 3. The browser redirects the user to an SSO URL, Auth0 4. Auth0 parses the SAML request and authenticates the user. This could be with username and password or even social login. If the user is already authenticated on Auth0, this step will be skipped. Once the user is authenticated, Auth0 generates a SAML response. 5.Auth0 returns the encoded SAML response to the browser. 6.The browser sends the SAML response to Dahboard for verification. 7.If the verification is successful, the user will be logged in to Dahboard and granted access to the resources that they are authorized to view/modify.
