!!! [SAML] [Protocols]
[SAML] defines a number of request/response [protocols] that allow [Service Providers] to:
* Request from a [SAML] authority one or more assertions (includes a direct request of the desired assertions, as well as querying for assertions that meet particular criteria)
* Request that an [Identity Provider (IDP)] [authenticate] a principal and return the corresponding assertion
* Request that a name identifier be registered
* Request that the use of an identifier be terminated
* Retrieve a protocol message that has been requested by means of an artifact
* Request a near-simultaneous logout of a collection of related sessions ("[Single Logout Profile]")
* Request a name identifier mapping
