University of Auckland Shibboleth Identity Provider (SAML 2.0 metadata)

The University's institutional identity provider, publishing SAML 2.0 metadata at https://iam.auckland.ac.nz/shibboleth (200, application/xml). The IDPSSODescriptor declares support for urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol, urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:protocol and urn:mace:shibboleth:1.0, with SingleSignOnService endpoints for HTTP-POST, HTTP-POST-SimpleSign, HTTP-Redirect and the Shibboleth AuthnRequest profile, plus SAML1 SOAP and SAML2 SOAP artifact resolution. Confirmed as the live production SSO rather than stale metadata - courseoutline.auckland.ac.nz redirects into iam.auckland.ac.nz/profile/SAML2/Redirect/SSO. This is a machine-readable, institution-owned surface that almost no university profile in this catalog records.
