Support for SAML

CICS® supports the use of Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) for describing and exchanging security information between online business partners.

CICS supports the SAMLCore1.1 and SAML Core2.0 standards. It does not support the protocols that are described in those standards.

You can configure provider and requester pipelines to use SAML tokens, but you must first deploy the CICS Security Token Service (STS). For more information about configuring your CICS installation to support SAML, see Configuring CICS for SAML.
