Ohio State University

Web Single Sign-On (Shibboleth Identity Provider)

Institution-wide web authentication and authorization operated by the Office of Technology and Digital Innovation on Shibboleth, supporting SAML 2.0 with Redirect and POST SSO/SLO bindings and SOAP ECP. Every SSO-protected Ohio State service probed in this run redirects here, including the Canvas LMS tenancy. Intended for registered campus and cloud service owners integrating as SAML service providers; there is no self-service SP registration and no open public consumption path.
