When using SAML, where does user authentication occur?
In a SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) authentication process, the Identity Provider (IDP) is responsible for authenticating the user. Once the user is authenticated, the IDP generates a SAML assertion which is then passed to the Service Provider (SP) to grant access. The correct option is that the Identity Provider (IDP) decodes the SAML request and authenticates the user.
I think C is correct

With SAML, an Identity Provider is what handles authentication.
Identity provider (IDP) maintains the user credentials and handles authentication. Ref: CI Notes p.101
Agree, C is correct here.
