Explanation

In SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) deployments, the Identity Provider (IdP) is responsible for storing and managing user authentication credentials, such as usernames and passwords. The IdP authenticates the user and then issues a SAML assertion to the Service Provider (SP), which allows the user to access services without needing to re-enter credentials.
