Nanjing University Shibboleth Identity Provider (SAML 2.0 metadata)

Nanjing University's own Shibboleth Identity Provider. It publishes SAML 2.0 metadata at the canonical /idp/shibboleth location — an EntityDescriptor with an IDPSSODescriptor and an AttributeAuthorityDescriptor, shibmd scope nju.edu.cn, SSO and SLO endpoints on 443 and SOAP attribute-query / artifact-resolution endpoints on 8443. The library uses it in production as the CARSI route to licensed resources off campus. Recorded honestly: the document NJU serves is Shibboleth's unedited sample metadata, validUntil 2020-02-17 and still carrying the shipped placeholder UIInfo, so the deployment is curated in CARSI's registration rather than on NJU's own host.
