POSTECH SAML 2.0 Identity Provider

POSTECH's own SAML 2.0 identity provider, entityID https://idpass.postech.ac.kr/idp/simplesamlphp, registered in KAFE (the Korea Access Federation, run on KREONET) since registrationInstant 2017-06-23 and first seen in eduGAIN 2017-06-29. The metadata is machine-readable and internationally resolvable through the eduGAIN technical database: IDPSSODescriptor with SingleSignOnService and SingleLogoutService under /simplesaml/saml2/idp/, an X.509 signing key, shibmd:Scope postech.ac.kr, support for the REFEDS Research and Scholarship entity category, a SIRTFI assurance assertion and a REFEDS security contact. The IdP's own metadata URL is admin-gated and 302s to a login form, so the federation copy is the public one. The software is SimpleSAMLphp rather than Shibboleth.
