SAML Broker

A SAML broker is sometimes also referred to as an IdP proxy.

Fortified ID can act as a SAML Broker (sometimes also referred to as an IdP proxy). Example scenarios include brokering between different SAML SPs and external IdPs such as eIDAS, Google, Microsoft Entra, or different national eIDs via a third-party provider.

A SAML Broker is a middleman or intermediary in a SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) authentication flow. It sits between the identity provider (IdP) and multiple service providers (SPs), managing the authentication and assertion process on behalf of users.
