KIT OpenID Connect Provider (SCC Keycloak realm) is one of 9 APIs that [Karlsruhe Institute of Technology](https://apis.io/providers/karlsruhe-institute-of-technology/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Identity, OpenID Connect, Authentication, SSO, and Keycloak.

Separately from the Shibboleth IdP, the Scientific Computing Center operates a Keycloak OpenID Connect provider for the "kit" realm on KIT's own domain. Verified 2026-09-01: the discovery document at /auth/realms/kit/.well-known/openid-configuration returns 200 with issuer https://oidc.scc.kit.edu/auth/realms/kit, an authorization endpoint, a token endpoint, a JWKS at /protocol/openid-connect/certs, and eleven grant types including authorization_code, client_credentials, device_code, jwt-bearer, token-exchange, uma-ticket and CIBA. This is the OAuth 2.0 / OIDC surface KIT services authenticate against and it is institution-operated. Keycloak's own admin REST contract is the product's, not KIT's, and is not saved here.
