TU Darmstadt Shibboleth Identity Provider (SAML 2.0 metadata) is one of 10 APIs that [Technical University of Darmstadt](https://apis.io/providers/technical-university-of-darmstadt/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Identity Federation, Shibboleth, SAML, SSO, and Metadata. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

The university's own SAML 2.0 identity provider, operated by the Hochschulrechenzentrum (HRZ). Verified live 2026-09-01 (HTTP 200, 15,371 bytes of XML): entityID https://idp.hrz.tu-darmstadt.de/idp/shibboleth, shibmd:Scope tu-darmstadt.de, an IDPSSODescriptor advertising SAML2 HTTP-POST, POST-SimpleSign, HTTP-Redirect and SOAP/ECP bindings at login.tu-darmstadt.de, signing certificates, mdui:DisplayName in German and English, and technical/support contacts at hrz.tu-darmstadt.de. The same document is served from https://login.tu-darmstadt.de/idp/shibboleth. This is browser-mediated web SSO, not an API authorization server — there is no OAuth or OIDC token endpoint — but it is machine-readable metadata the institution itself authors and publishes, and it is the single strongest institution-operated surface in this profile.
