# Khalifa University Identity Federation (Microsoft Entra ID)

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/khalifa/entra-identity-federation/  
**Provider:** Khalifa University — https://apis.io/providers/khalifa/  
**Documentation:** https://login.microsoftonline.com/ku.ac.ae/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration

Khalifa University Identity Federation (Microsoft Entra ID) is one of 10 APIs that [Khalifa University](https://apis.io/providers/khalifa/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Identity Federation, SAML, OpenID Connect, Single Sign-On, and Authentication. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes sample payloads, authentication docs, and API documentation.

Khalifa University operates its own Microsoft Entra ID tenant for the ku.ac.ae namespace — tenant id 08fe1c0a-19f5-4f24-a662-fdd5dd460025, getuserrealm.srf reporting NameSpaceType=Managed, DomainName=ku.ac.ae, FederationBrandName=ku.ac.ae. The OpenID Connect discovery document and the SAML 2.0 federation metadata are both public and machine-readable (HTTP 200, probed 2026-09-01). The tenant is demonstrably the production IdP for institution systems: elearn.ku.ac.ae redirects to its /saml2 endpoint with a SAMLRequest, and portal.ku.ac.ae and kubee.ku.ac.ae redirect to its WS-Federation endpoint with wtrealm http://adfs.ku.ac.ae/adfs/services/trust. No Shibboleth IdP and no eduGAIN entity were found; Khalifa federates through Entra ID instead. The identity provider is the institution's; the hosting platform is Microsoft's.
