# Nanjing University Shibboleth Identity Provider (SAML 2.0 metadata)

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/nanjing/idp-shibboleth/

Nanjing University Shibboleth Identity Provider (SAML 2.0 metadata) is one of 14 APIs that [Nanjing University](https://apis.io/providers/nanjing/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Identity Federation, SAML, Shibboleth, and Authentication. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

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.
