King Saud University

King Saud University identity provider in eduGAIN (via Maeen)

King Saud University's SAML 2.0 identity provider is published into the eduGAIN interfederation metadata by the Maeen Identity Federation (https://www.maeen.sa, federation code SA-MIF, an eduGAIN member since 2019-07-02). The entity is entityID http://SSO.ksu.edu.sa/adfs/services/trust, role IDPSSODescriptor, English display name "King Saud University", scope ksu.edu.sa, first seen in eduGAIN on 2020-02-02. The metadata itself lives in the eduGAIN aggregate at https://mds.edugain.org/edugain-v2.xml, served as application/samlmetadata+xml. This is a machine-readable, institution-owned identity surface — one of the strongest a university has, and the class this cohort was most completely missing. The entityID retains an ADFS-shaped identifier from before the university's migration to PingFederate, which is correct practice: a SAML entityID is a name, not a location.
