POSTECH SAML 2.0 Identity Provider is one of 5 APIs that [Pohang University of Science and Technology](https://apis.io/providers/postech/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Identity Federation, SAML, eduGAIN, KAFE, and Single Sign-On. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes authentication docs and API documentation.

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.
