# Qatar University Single Sign-On (OpenID Connect / OAuth 2.0)

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/qatar/qu-sso-oidc/  
**Provider:** Qatar University — https://apis.io/providers/qatar/  
**Base URL:** https://sso.qu.edu.qa  
**Documentation:** https://sso.qu.edu.qa/

Qatar University Single Sign-On (OpenID Connect / OAuth 2.0) is one of 10 APIs that [Qatar University](https://apis.io/providers/qatar/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. This API exposes 1 JSON Schema definition. Tagged areas include Identity Federation, OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, Single Sign-On, and Authentication. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, authentication docs, and 1 JSON Schema.

Qatar University's own OpenID Connect provider, running on a WSO2 Identity Server at sso.qu.edu.qa. It publishes a complete OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 document, a live JWKS serving an RS256 signing key, and authorization, token, userinfo, introspection, revocation, logout, session-check and dynamic-client-registration endpoints. Five scopes are supported — the five OIDC standards, with nothing institution-specific — and thirty claims, including the non-standard `groups` and `upn`. Client registration is institutional; there is no public self-service onboarding. This is the most complete machine-readable contract in the profile and it was entirely absent from the June 2026 pass. It is also, as published, unreadable to a conformant client: the host serves an incomplete TLS chain, the issuer names the WSO2 management port, and the discovery document sits at a non-RFC-8414 location.
