I thought SP also handled some authorization tasks?

From what I recall, the IDP does the authorization part, but I can't quite remember the details of how the SP authenticates users.

I feel like I might be mixing up the roles. Is the SP really just about authentication, or does it do more?

I remember practicing a question about SAML where the roles of IDP and SP were highlighted. It makes sense that they need to work together.

I think the IDP is responsible for user authentication, but I'm not entirely sure how the SP fits into that.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. I'll first eliminate any options that I know are clearly wrong, then carefully consider the remaining choices to select the best one. Analyzing the question step-by-step should help me arrive at the right answer.

Whoa, this is a tricky one. I'm not entirely sure about the specifics of MID Server connectivity. I'll have to make an educated guess and hope for the best on this one.
