UAB in SIR / eduGAIN (RedIRIS federation entity) is one of 11 APIs that [Autonomous University of Barcelona](https://apis.io/providers/uab/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Identity Federation, SAML, Shibboleth, eduGAIN, and RedIRIS.

UAB's entry in the Spanish national identity federation SIR, operated by RedIRIS, which is how UAB reaches eduGAIN. The EntityDescriptor at entityID https://www.rediris.es/sir/uabidp carries OrganizationName "Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona" and shibmd:Scope uab.es, and is present in the SIR aggregate at https://www.rediris.es/sir/shib1metadata.xml (HTTP 200, 336 entities) and in the eduGAIN entity listing as id 680530. Its SSO, SLO and attribute-authority endpoints are all per-institution paths on sir.rediris.es, so this entity is federation-operated: UAB's identity, RedIRIS's engineering. Recorded, never deleted — a federation is shared by definition, and this is one of the strongest institution-linked surfaces a university has.
