+# Authentication through SAML 2.0
+
+## Overview
+
+The experimental SAML provider allows authentication through the SAML 2.0 HTTP POST binding.
+
+The connector uses the value of the `NameID` element as the user's unique identifier which dex assumes is both unique and never changes. Use the `nameIDPolicyFormat` to ensure this is set to a value which satisfies these requirements.
+
+## Caveats
+
+There are known issues with the XML signature validation for this connector. In addition work is still being done to ensure this connector implements best security practices for SAML 2.0.
+
+The connector doesn't support signed AuthnRequests or encrypted attributes.
+
+The connector doesn't support refresh tokens since the SAML 2.0 protocol doesn't provide a way to requery a provider without interaction.
+
+## Configuration
+
+```yaml
+connectors:
+- type: samlExperimental # will be changed to "saml" later without support for the "samlExperimental" value
+  id: saml
+  config:
+    # Issuer used for validating the SAML response.
+    issuer: https://saml.example.com
+    # SSO URL used for POST value.
+    ssoURL: https://saml.example.com/sso
+
+    # CA to use when validating the SAML response.
+    ca: /path/to/ca.pem
+
+    # CA's can also be provided inline as a base64'd blob. 
+    #
+    # catData: ( RAW base64'd PEM encoded CA )
+
+    # To skip signature validation, uncomment the following field. This should
+    # only be used during testing and may be removed in the future.
+    # 
+    # insucreSkipSignatureValidation: true
+
+    # Dex's callback URL. Must match the "Destination" attribute of all responses
+    # exactly.  
+    redirectURI: https://dex.example.com/callback
+
+    # Name of attributes in the returned assertions to map to ID token claims.
+    usernameAttr: name
+    emailAttr: email
+    groupsAttr: groups # optional
+
+    # By default, multiple groups are assumed to be represented as multiple
+    # attributes with the same name.
+    #
+    # If "groupsDelim" is provided groups are assumed to be represented as a
+    # single attribute and the delimiter is used to split the attribute's value
+    # into multiple groups.
+    #
+    # groupsDelim: ", "
+
+
+    # Requested format of the NameID. The NameID value is is mapped to the ID Token
+    # 'sub' claim.  This can be an abbreviated form of the full URI with just the last
+    # component. For example, if this value is set to "emailAddress" the format will
+    # resolve to:
+    #
+    #     urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress
+    #
+    # If no value is specified, this value defaults to:
+    #
+    #     urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent
+    #
+    nameIDPolicyFormat: persistent
+```
