UNIGE Shibboleth Identity Provider (SWITCHaai)

The University of Geneva's own SAML 2.0 Shibboleth Identity Provider, published as machine-readable metadata in SWITCHaai, the Swiss national research and education identity federation. entityID https://idp.unige.ch/idp/shibboleth, shibmd:Scope unige.ch, SSO delegated to SWITCH edu-ID at unige.login.eduid.ch. 123 unige.ch entityIDs are registered in the same document, including archive-ouverte, gitlab, moodle, mediaserver, votamatic and the eResearch authorization server. A federation is shared by definition and the IdP behind it is the institution's own — this is UNIGE's strongest institution-operated machine-readable surface and the credential behind nearly every gated service below.
