## Overview

The experimental SAML provider allows authentication through the SAML 2.0 HTTP POST binding.
The SAML provider allows authentication through the SAML 2.0 HTTP POST binding. The connector maps attribute values in the SAML assertion to user info, such as username, email, and groups.

The connector uses the value of the `NameID` element as the user's unique identifier which dex assumes is both unique and never changes. Use the `nameIDPolicyFormat` to ensure this is set to a value which satisfies these requirements.

Unlike some clients which will process unprompted AuthnResponses, dex must send the initial AuthnRequest and validates the response's InResponseTo value.

## Caveats

There are known issues with the XML signature validation for this connector. In addition work is still being done to ensure this connector implements best security practices for SAML 2.0.
__The connector doesn't support refresh tokens__ since the SAML 2.0 protocol doesn't provide a way to requery a provider without interaction. If the "offline_access" scope is requested, it will be ignored.

The connector doesn't support signed AuthnRequests or encrypted attributes.

The connector doesn't support refresh tokens since the SAML 2.0 protocol doesn't provide a way to requery a provider without interaction. Ensure that the "offline_access" scope is not requested in client apps.
