SAML and SSO providers in the early 2000s developed solutions primarily for Windows platforms (Active Directory federated services) that do not exist for iOS and Android. Understanding the problem with SSO on mobile This post rounds up the top four options for adding SSO to mobile today. The good news: Cloud services such as Microsoft’s Azure, Google Apps, and Amazon Web Services now support open standards such as OAuth 2.0, OpenID, and NAPPS. But there are also other interim options. The big step enterprises need to take is to move identity management from within the enterprise firewall and out to the cloud.
SAML and first-generation SSO solutions work well for desktop computer authentication between websites, but mobile technologies add a layer of complexity that requires new SSO technologies. Enterprises have been leveraging different technologies to deliver the promise of single sign-on, or SSO, for more than a decade. The fundamental approach to SSO today is to leverage Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), an XML-based, open standard data package that authenticates a user between an identity provider and a service provider.
