Overview
A profile is essentially a use case for SAML. A profile combines assertions, protocols and bindings to support specific use cases. For example, the Web Browser SSO Profile specifies how SAML authentication assertions are communicated between an Identity Provider and Service Provider to enable single sign-on for a browser user.
More formally, the SAML profile defines a set of rules and guidelines for how to embed SAML assertions into, and extract them from, a protocol or other context of use.
