What is SAML and LDAP?
What are SAML and LDAP? SAML and LDAP are separate methods for securely authenticating users to network resources such as devices, applications, or databases. Each protocol controls how the users and resources communicate with one another by connecting them with a directory service such as Active Directory.
What is the difference between Kerberos and SAML?
