SAML offers every bit of identity-related information between two parties viz., an IdP and an SP. Here’s what these two types of SAML SSO providers do: </p>\n<ul>\n<li>Identity Provider (IdP): It performs the authentication and forwards a user’s identity and authorization request to the service provider (SP). Here, the IdP has authenticated the individual user and then forwarded the same to SP to allow access. </li>\n<li>Service provider (SP): It authorizes the given user to access the resources/network. An SP initially requires authentication from the IdP to <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/blog/identity/loginradius-m2m-authorization-data-access/\">grant authorization</a> to the user. The entire process works seamlessly and a user just need to provide authentication credentials once. </li>\n</ul>\n<h2 id=\"advantages-of-saml\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#advantages-of-saml\" aria-label=\"advantages of saml permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>Advantages of SAML</h2>\n<p>Below are the benefits that SAML provides:</p>\n<h3 id=\"1-standardization\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#1-standardization\" aria-label=\"1 standardization permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>1.

This process is done through an exchange of digitally signed XML documents.</p>\n<p>Let us consider a scenario: A user is logged into a system that acts as an <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/blog/identity/2021/06/what-is-identity-provider/\">identity provider</a>. The user wants to log in to another remote application, such as a Job application (the service provider app). </p>\n<p>Here, following process occurs:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>The user accesses the remote application via a link on an intranet, a saved bookmark, or similar, and the application loads.</li>\n<li>The application identifies the user’s origin (by the user agent or equivalent) and then redirects the user to the identity provider, to ask for authentication. It is an authentication request.</li>\n<li>The user either has an active browser session with the identity provider or establishes a new via login process into the identity provider.</li>\n<li>The identity provider creates the authentication response in the form of an XML document that contains the user’s username or email address, signs it using an X.509 certificate, and posts this information to the service provider.</li>\n<li>The service provider, which already knows the identity provider and has a certificate fingerprint, retrieves the authentication response and validates the same using the certificate fingerprint.</li>\n<li>The identity of the user is verified, and the user is now authorized to access the app.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2 id=\"saml-sso-flow\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#saml-sso-flow\" aria-label=\"saml sso flow permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>SAML SSO Flow</h2>\n<p>The below diagram illustrates the single sign-on flow for SAML SSO, i.e., when an application triggers SSO.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://apidocs.lrcontent.com/images/SAMLflow_1484060cc3534702fa4.48760508.png\" alt=\"SAML FLOW\" title=\"SAML FLOW\"></p>\n<p>If you want to learn more on how LoginRadius can help implement IDP-initiated SSO and SP initiated SAML SSO, refer to the LoginRadius SAML overview documentation.</p>\n<h3 id=\"conclusion\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#conclusion\" aria-label=\"conclusion permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>Conclusion</h3>\n<p>In this article, we talked about the basics of SAML SSO and its key components.

After all that overwhelming onboarding and ping pong hours bonding with my colleagues, it was time for me to jump into the real stuff!</p>\n<p>So, what real stuff? Well, it included customer onboarding, account management/ escalations, customer health checks, business reviews, renewal, upsell, customer advocacy, and similar responsibilities. </p>\n<p>Let’s start with customer onboarding, which is one of the most important tasks CSMs have. The process involves:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Offering an overview and basic dashboard training</li>\n<li>Focusing on the features that will help customers gain early value of the LoginRadius platform</li>\n<li>Pointing at the different support documentation, and resources</li>\n<li>Most importantly, establishing trust</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The base of the relationship moving forward often starts at this stage. The stronger, the better. After all, CSMs are the go-to person and the first point of contact for any questions or support the customer may have/need during the implementation and after going live.</p>\n<p>I remember that my first customer onboarding was for a Panamanian customer. At the POC stage (Proof of concept), there were some language barriers that I had to overcome as the stakeholders from the customer’s side were not that fluent in English and my Spanish is rusted. </p>\n<p>It was a great experience and made me more confident about delivering onboarding and helped me get familiar with the whole process.</p>\n<h3 id=\"span-stylecolor-ff4500-another-important-responsibility-is-the-quarterly-business-review-qbr-meetings-preparation-and-presentation-span\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#span-stylecolor-ff4500-another-important-responsibility-is-the-quarterly-business-review-qbr-meetings-preparation-and-presentation-span\" aria-label=\"span stylecolor ff4500 another important responsibility is the quarterly business review qbr meetings preparation and presentation span permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a><span style=\"color: #FF4500\"> Another important responsibility is the quarterly business review (QBR) meetings preparation and presentation. </span></h3>\n<p>I realized that customers’ business reviews are critical to us as they give us a chance to engage with a different audience (Management level/ executives) and discuss their LoginRadius journey. </p>\n<p>It is a time dedicated to generating conversation and post-go-live, understanding from all angles what worked well, what features were used or what wasn’t, what went wrong during the last months, and what will be different in future quarters, re-emphasizing the value they can get from us. </p>\n<p>The reviews help us keep our business on track, stakeholders aligned.

With all the responsibilities CSMs have, I’ll admit that our days are definitely driven by prioritizing the customers’ needs, goals and requests. </p>\n<p>CSMs are considered the voice of the customer where they have to make sure their customers are heard. It is our job to balance and defend both the customers’ and company’s interests. </p>\n<p>It’s not an easy task! But throughout the many experiences CSMs are exposed to; they eventually learn to navigate the different parties' interests to benefit them successfully.</p>\n<p>That’s where I realized that these CSM responsibilities form the pillars of “growth” within LoginRadius.

This marketing of products amongst new customers can further assist businesses in generating additional revenues.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Enhanced product demand</li>\n</ul>\n<p>One of the most fundamental but significant advantages of product marketing in the present times is the enhanced demand for the product. When you create products that satisfy the necessities and requirements of clients, as well as draw new clients, you generate more elevated demand for your refined products.</p>\n<p>In addition, this product marketing further enables manufacturers to <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/blog/fuel/consumer-experience-b2b-saas/\">market B2B Saas Products</a> and generate more revenue. As a result, higher product demand may empower you to purchase a higher volume of raw materials from suppliers and receive volume discounts to diminish your business expenses.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Better product understanding</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The promotional period of product marketing involves applied paid promotion, <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/blog/fuel/customer-relationship-business/\">customer relations</a>, and trading to demonstrate product advantages and value to their targeted client base.
