University of Alberta SAML 2.0 Identity Provider Metadata is one of 6 APIs that [University of Alberta](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-alberta/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Identity Federation, SAML, Shibboleth, and Single Sign-On. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

The university's own SAML 2.0 identity provider metadata document, served from its own domain. It declares entityID https://login.ualberta.ca/saml2/idp/metadata.php, an IDPSSODescriptor with SingleSignOn over HTTP-Redirect and HTTP-POST plus SingleLogout, the Shibboleth metadata extension shibmd:Scope of ualberta.ca, mdrpi:RegistrationInfo with registration authority urn:mace:ualberta.ca, and OrganizationName in English and French. This is the only contract in this profile the University of Alberta both writes and runs — identity federation is institution-operated by definition, and it is the surface class this cohort most consistently fails to catalog.
