CARSI / eduGAIN Federation Registration (entity 671640)

The same identity provider seen from the federation side. Tianjin University's IdP is registered in CARSI — the CERNET Authentication and Resource Sharing Infrastructure, registration authority https://www.carsi.edu.cn, an eduGAIN member federation since May 2019 and in production since June 2019 — as eduGAIN entity 671640, first seen 2019-10-31, scope idp.tju.edu.cn, with both IDPSSODescriptor and AttributeAuthorityDescriptor roles and display names "Tianjin University" / 天津大学(Tianjin University). This is what makes the IdP usable for federated access to licensed library and publisher resources. Disambiguated against two same-city lookalikes registered in the same federation: idp.tjufe.edu.cn is Tianjin University of Finance and Economics and idp.tjut.edu.cn is Tianjin University of Technology; neither is recorded here.

x-operator: federation
x-operator-basis: An identity federation is shared by definition — 725 entities are registered in CARSI
  — and the entry within it carries Tianjin University's own IdP, scope, display names and roles. CERNET/CARSI
  operates the registry; the identity behind entity 671640 is the institution's. Per the university pipeline
  contract, the federation's own specification is not saved here and the relationship is not deleted for
  being shared.
