In this episode, Prateek, Paul, and Joni bring us back to a time in which single sign-on across domains on the web was a brand new problem. With the confidence (and the passion!) of the people who were there and made things happen, the guests take Vittorio and the listeners on a whirlwind tour touching on the technical and political challenges they had to overcome to bring SAML to life and make it the ubiquitous success it is today. From the basics of how the SAML protocol works to the entities and standard bodies that developed it, the discussion eventually reaches modern times and concludes on how in a world where old and new standards coexist, OpenID Connect picked up the innovation torch from SAML.
