TUM Shibboleth Identity Provider (SAML 2.0 Metadata)

Machine-readable SAML 2.0 identity provider metadata — an EntityDescriptor with an IDPSSODescriptor supporting urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol, registered in DFN-AAI since 2009-05-26 and reachable through eduGAIN. Carries the REFEDS Research & Scholarship entity category and both SIRTFI and SIRTFI2 assurance certifications. This is the surface every university operates by definition and almost none of them get catalogued as an API; it is included here deliberately.

API entry from apis.yml

aid: tum:identity-federation
name: TUM Shibboleth Identity Provider (SAML 2.0 Metadata)
x-operator: institution
x-operator-basis: Metadata is served from TUM's own login.tum.de and asserts the tum.de Shibboleth scope
  with display name "Technical University of Munich (TUM)". The instance is hosted for TUM by the Leibniz
  Supercomputing Centre (canonical entityID https://tumidp.lrz.de/idp/shibboleth), but the federated identity
  being asserted is the institution's own and no other institution shares this entity.
