Single Sign-on provides applications for frequently used services that allow federated connections. The applications contain instructions to help you create an application in the Single Sign-on environment. An application is an object that contains all the necessary items to create a federated connection to an external service that supports a single sign-on connection. A federation connection establishes a trust between Single Sign-on and a service. A service is an application, service, or resource that you want to provide a single sign-on experience for your users.
Single Sign-on allows you to create applications that contain all the items required to create the federated connection to different services. Currently, Single Sign-on supports OAuth applications and SAML applications. It also allows you to create appmarks for the services at the same time.
If you have obtained the metadata from the service you can import the metadata or you can provide the details that are contained in the metadata. The options are unique per application.
