Relationships between SAML standards and profiles (Overview)

The following "family tree" provides an overview the different classes of standards and profiles.

What purpose service profiles?

  • An interoperability profile shall achieve conformance with the specification, is not too restrictive leaving many choices. It targets developers.
  • A deployment profile leaves no or only few options. Its audience are deployers.
  • SAML conformance profiles have the same intent as a interoperability profile, but are too loose in V2.0 to ensure interoperability.
