Explanation
In SAML 2.0, the Identity Provider (IdP) is the standard component responsible for authenticating user credentials and issuing SAML assertions (security tokens) to Service Providers. The IdP vouches for the user's identity. A 'session broker' and 'Internet service provider' are not SAML components. A 'client access server' is a Microsoft Exchange concept. SAML 2.0 defines two primary roles: the Identity Provider (IdP), which authenticates, and the Service Provider (SP), which grants access based on the IdP's assertion.
