Charles University

Charles University Shibboleth Identity Provider

Charles University operates its own Shibboleth SAML 2.0 identity provider. Metadata is served at idp.cuni.cz as application/xml with entityID https://cas.cuni.cz/idp/shibboleth, shibmd:Scope cuni.cz, and mdui:DisplayName "Charles University" / "Univerzita Karlova". The IdP is registered in eduID.cz, the Czech national identity federation operated by CESNET, and reachable through eduGAIN. A federation is shared by definition; the IdP behind it is the institution's own and is one of its strongest machine-readable, institution-operated surfaces.
