DESCRIPTION
    Support for the Web Browser SSO profile of SAML2.

    Net::SAML2 correctly perform the SSO process against numerous SAML
    Identity Providers (IdPs). It has been tested against:

    GSuite (Google)
    Azure (Microsoft Office 365)
    OneLogin
    Jump
    Mircosoft ADFS
    Keycloak
    Auth0 (requires Net::SAML2 >=0.39)
    PingIdentity
        Version 0.54 and newer support EncryptedAssertions. No changes
        required to existing SP applications if EncryptedAssertions are not
        in use.

    Net::SAML2 - SAML bindings and protocol implementation

MAJOR CAVEATS
    SP-side protocol only
    Requires XML metadata from the IdP
