Deakin University SAML 2.0 Identity Provider is one of 8 APIs that [Deakin University](https://apis.io/providers/deakin/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Identity Federation, SAML, Shibboleth, and Single Sign-On. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

Deakin's Shibboleth identity provider, self-hosted and self-described. The EntityDescriptor at https://signon.deakin.edu.au/idp/shibboleth declares protocol support for SAML 2.0, a signing and an encryption key, a shibmd:Scope of deakin.edu.au, three SingleSignOnService bindings (HTTP-POST, HTTP-POST-SimpleSign, HTTP-Redirect) and two SingleLogoutService bindings, all located on signon.deakin.edu.au. The host CNAMEs to shib-idp5-shib-2024061000-prod.aa-global.deakin.edu.au and resolves into 128.184.0.0/16 (APNIC netname DEAKINUNIVERSITY) under a Deakin-procured DigiCert wildcard certificate. This is the only institution-operated machine-readable contract found anywhere in Deakin's public footprint.
