EPFL SAML Identity Federation Entities

aid: epfl:identity-federation
name: EPFL SAML Identity Federation Entities
x-operator: institution
x-operator-basis: The entityIDs, the Shibboleth SP deployments and the attribute-release requests are
  EPFL's own, published under epfl.ch hostnames. The aggregate they are published IN is operated by SWITCH,
  which is why the registry URL below is a property and not this entry's baseURL.
description: EPFL is a registered member of SWITCHaai, the Swiss academic identity federation, which is
  exported to eduGAIN. Seventeen entityIDs containing "epfl" appear in the federation aggregate. EPFL's
  identity provider entity, https://idp.epfl.ch/idp/shibboleth, carries the REFEDS Research & Scholarship
  entity category and REFEDS Sirtfi. EPFL-operated Shibboleth service providers are registered at https://companion.epfl.ch/shibboleth
  (9 requested attributes; host resolves and returns 200) and https://tequila.epfl.ch/shibboleth (16 requested
  attributes, including swissEduPersonMatriculationNumber and swissEduPersonStudyLevel) — but note that
  tequila.epfl.ch NO LONGER RESOLVES in public DNS as of 2026-08-19, so that registration is stale metadata
  rather than a reachable service. This is machine-readable institutional infrastructure that is almost
  never catalogued, and the entities are genuinely EPFL's.
