La Trobe University

La Trobe Shibboleth Identity Provider (AAF)

La Trobe's SAML 2.0 identity provider in the Australian Access Federation, and through AAF in eduGAIN. The entity is La Trobe's — entityID https://aaf.latrobe.edu.au/idp/shibboleth, shibmd:Scope latrobe.edu.au, OrganizationURL https://latrobe.edu.au — and the metadata is machine-readable and unauthenticated at that URL (HTTP 200, application/xml, 4,447 bytes, 2026-08-30), also carried inside the federation aggregate at md.aaf.edu.au/aaf-metadata.xml. Marked tenant rather than institution because aaf.latrobe.edu.au is a CNAME to 50fc96936b5e207719a6a235131a8150.idp-cname.aaf.edu.au: AAF runs the Shibboleth deployment, La Trobe owns the identity namespace it asserts. This is the most substantive programmable surface bearing La Trobe's own name.
