What is an authentication service end point?
An authentication service end point is a special service block within the XRDS XML document that tells a web site, such as the delegated manager tool, who to use to authenticate the user who is attempting to log in. There are primarily two types of authentication service end points. Open ID which is a light weight protocol that has gained in popularity due in large part to its ease of use. A second much more security conscious protocol is SAML. We are currently supporting Open ID in a very constrained way. We currently only support the Neustar identity services IDP.
