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/.
