    SAML is bad, but OAuth and OIDC are showing major cracks with identity and agents. Go to any major company right now and ask them how they are dealing with authenticating agents/what an agent identity even is.

    The XSW part of the article was new to me though and kinda shocking

      It's probably for the better that they're having trouble with it, if trouble actually means increased workload.

      If my security system is showing friction when there's a wave of agentic slop, I'd say that's a win.
