La Trobe Shibboleth Identity Provider (AAF) is one of 3 APIs that [La Trobe University](https://apis.io/providers/la-trobe-university/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Identity Federation, SAML, Shibboleth, eduGAIN, and 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.
