What version of SAML is required for implementing SSO for Portals?

  1. SAML version 1.0

  2. SAML version 2.0

  3. SAML version 3.0

  4. SAML version 4.0

The correct answer is: SAML version 2.0

SSO, or Single Sign-On, is a security feature that allows users to access multiple applications or websites with a single set of credentials. SAML, or Security Assertion Markup Language, is used for exchanging authentication and authorization data between the identity provider (such as an organization's internal portal) and the service provider (such as the external application or website). When implementing SSO for portals, the required version of SAML is 2.0. While versions 3.0 and 4.0 exist, they are not commonly used or supported in SSO implementations. Version 1.0 of SAML is also not recommended as it is outdated and lacks important security features. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it is the most widely used and accepted version for implementing SSO for portals.
