SAML 2.0

Last modified: 16 November 2023

Security Assertion Markup Language is an XML-based, open-standard data format for exchanging authentication and authorization data between security domains: an Identity Provider(IdP) and a Service Provider(SP). SAML2.0 enables web-based authentication and authorization scenarios including cross-domain single sign-on(SSO).

For YouTrack, SAML support lets you use a YouTrack service as the Identity Provider (IdP) for your web-based applications and as the authentication and authorization manager. When you configure YouTrack as the IdP for a service provider, your users can log into this service with their credentials in YouTrack or any other authentication module.

SAML support also enables single sign-on. When users log in to one of the services connected to YouTrack, they are logged into all connected services.
