Erasmus University Rotterdam

SURFconext / eduGAIN Identity Provider

EUR's identity federation entry — the machine-readable institutional surface universities almost never get catalogued for. EUR is registered as an identity provider in SURFconext, the Dutch national research and education federation and the country's eduGAIN participant. The entity appears in https://metadata.surfconext.nl/idps-metadata.xml (205 entities) with entityID https://sts.windows.net/715902d6-f63e-4b8d-929b-4bb170bad492/, an IDPSSODescriptor supporting urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol, an RSA signing KeyDescriptor, persistent and transient NameIDFormat support, and an mdui:UIInfo block carrying DisplayName "Erasmus University Rotterdam" / "Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam" and the logo at static.surfconext.nl/logos/idp/eur.png. This is how a human reaches every gated EUR surface; it grants no programmatic access on its own.

  Entra ID tenant on sts.windows.net, and the single SingleSignOnService Location is https://engine.surfconext.nl/authentication/idp/...
  — SURF''s hub-and-spoke proxy. EUR runs no IdP host of its own: idp.eur.nl and adfs.eur.nl return NXDOMAIN,
  and sso.eur.nl resolves to the generic EUR web front end and publishes no SAML service. Marked tenant
