SSO@UKM — SAML 2.0 Identity Provider

Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia's own SAML 2.0 identity provider, a SimpleSAMLphp deployment at sso.ukm.my. Publishes unauthenticated SAML 2.0 metadata (application/samlmetadata+xml, 4,261 bytes) with an IDPSSODescriptor carrying separate signing and encryption X.509 keys, HTTP-Redirect SingleSignOnService and SingleLogoutService endpoints, the transient NameID format and a technical contact at server@ukm.edu.my. Confirmed in production: libquest.ukm.my redirects unauthenticated visitors to /saml2/idp/SSOService.php as SP smuSSO-sp. Three weaknesses are visible in the metadata itself — entityID is the bare string "sso.ukm.my" rather than a URI, the document is not XML-signed, and no validUntil or cacheDuration tells a relying party when to re-fetch. UKM is not registered in eduGAIN and does not appear under SIFULAN, so no federation operator is checking any of this on its behalf.

  title: UKM Identity Provider — SAML 2.0 (SSO@UKM)
  version: '2.0'
  summary: Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia's own SAML 2.0 identity provider and its published metadata.
  description: >-
    SSO@UKM is Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia's institution-operated SAML 2.0 identity provider,
    a SimpleSAMLphp deployment on the university's own domain at sso.ukm.my. It publishes
    unauthenticated SAML 2.0 metadata (application/samlmetadata+xml, 4,261 bytes) declaring an
    IDPSSODescriptor with separate signing and encryption X.509 keys, HTTP-Redirect
    SingleSignOnService and SingleLogoutService bindings, the transient NameID format, and a
    technical contact at server@ukm.edu.my. entityID is the bare string "sso.ukm.my" rather than a
    URI — a deviation from common SAML metadata practice that federation operators normally reject.

    The IdP is confirmed in production: the library's LibQuest service at libquest.ukm.my redirects
    an unauthenticated visitor to https://sso.ukm.my/saml2/idp/SSOService.php carrying
    spentityid=https://libquest.ukm.my/simplesaml/module.php/saml/sp/metadata.php/smuSSO-sp.

    UKM is NOT registered in eduGAIN. A scan of the full eduGAIN entity list on 2026-09-01 (10,615
    entities) returned no entity under ukm.my or ukm.edu.my and no display name matching
    "Kebangsaan", while sixteen other Malaysian institutions are registered through SIFULAN, the
    Malaysian Access Federation. UKM's IdP is therefore institution-operated but not
    inter-federated — its metadata is self-published only.

    This description was written by API Evangelist from live probes on 2026-09-01. There is no
    self-service relying-party registration; adding a service provider is an administrative process.
