# InCommon federation registration (AUB IdP)

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/aub/incommon-federation/

InCommon federation registration (AUB IdP) is one of 11 APIs that [American University of Beirut](https://apis.io/providers/aub/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Identity Federation, InCommon, SAML, Shibboleth, and MDQ.

AUB's identity provider is registered in InCommon, the United States research and education identity federation, and is resolvable through the InCommon per-entity metadata (MDQ) service. Probed 2026-09-01: the MDQ endpoint returns an 11KB signed EntityDescriptor for https://idp.aub.edu.lb/idp/shibboleth with mdrpi registrationAuthority https://incommon.org, OrganizationDisplayName "American University of Beirut", and two entity categories asserted — https://refeds.org/sirtfi (the REFEDS security incident response trust framework) and http://id.incommon.org/category/registered-by-incommon. A federation is shared by definition; the IdP behind this entry is AUB's, which is why the relationship is recorded rather than the federation's contract.
