- Overview:
- SPML: An XML-based framework that enables platforms to generate and respond to provisioning requests, particularly in the context of federated identity and Single Sign-On (SSO) purposes.
- Purpose:
- User Information Exchange: SPML is specifically designed for the exchange of user information across platforms, facilitating the automation of user account creation, modification, and deletion within federated identity systems.
- Relationship to DSML:
- DSML (Directory Service Markup Language): SPML is based on DSML, which allows LDAP-based directory service information to be displayed and exchanged in XML format, enhancing interoperability between directory services and identity management systems.
SPML is an important tool for organizations implementing federated identity management and SSO solutions, enabling seamless user provisioning and management across diverse systems.
