Relying Party Definition: A relying party RP is an application that trusts an external identity provider for authentication, consuming SAML assertions or OIDC tokens to grant access.
A relying party (RP) is an application or service that outsources user authentication to a trusted external identity provider and consumes the resulting security assertions or tokens to make access decisions. In SAML the relying party is termed the service provider and validates signed assertions, while in OpenID Connect the relying party is the OAuth client that validates ID tokens issued by the authorization server. The relying party trusts the identity provider's verification of the user rather than authenticating credentials itself.
