Peking University

Peking University Shibboleth Identity Provider (SAML 2.0 metadata)

The university's federated identity provider, publishing live Shibboleth/SAML 2.0 metadata as machine-readable XML. Declares SAML 2.0 POST, POST-SimpleSign and Redirect SSO/SLO bindings, the legacy Shibboleth SSO profile, an AttributeAuthorityDescriptor, and SOAP ArtifactResolution / AttributeQuery / SLO endpoints on port 8443. This is the surface class universities operate by definition and almost never catalogue.
