# Configuration SAML.to is a bridge between Identity Providers (such as GitHub) and Service Providers (such as AWS) using the SAML 2.0 Protocol. By logging into an Identity Provider, a long (or short)-lived token is generated and used to identify Users and Repositories that want to exchange for a short-lived token at Service Providers. The following pages details configuration options for[ Identity Providers](/configuration/identity-providers.md) and [Service Providers](/configuration/service-providers.md). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
