SURFconext / eduGAIN Identity Provider is one of 7 APIs that [Erasmus University Rotterdam](https://apis.io/providers/erasmus-university-rotterdam/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Identity Federation, SAML, eduGAIN, SURFconext, and Tenant.

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.
