Eindhoven University of Technology

TU/e SAML Identity Provider (SURFconext / eduGAIN)

TU/e's SAML 2.0 identity-provider entity as published in the SURFconext federation metadata, which feeds eduGAIN. The EntityDescriptor carries OrganizationName "Technische Universiteit Eindhoven" / "Eindhoven University of Technology", OrganizationURL https://www.tue.nl/, and entityID https://sts.windows.net/cc7df247-60ce-4a0f-9d75-704cf60efc64/. This is the one surface class in the university cohort that is machine-readable by definition and almost never catalogued, which is why it is registered here as a first-class entry rather than left as a footnote.

name: TU/e SAML Identity Provider (SURFconext / eduGAIN)
x-operator: tenant
x-operator-note: TU/e's own federation identity, registered under TU/e's name with TU/e's organisation
  URL — but the entityID resolves to a Microsoft Entra ID tenant and the SSO endpoint is SURFconext's
  proxy. TU/e operates the identity; Microsoft and SURF operate the machinery.
