name: Shibboleth Identity Provider — SAML 2.0 Metadata
x-operator: institution
description: The University's own Shibboleth identity provider, entityID https://idp.unimelb.edu.au/idp/shibboleth,
  serving public SAML 2.0 metadata at that URL (verified 200 application/xml, 2026-08-19) with an IDPSSODescriptor,
  scope unimelb.edu.au and OrganizationName "The University of Melbourne". Registered in the Australian
  Access Federation aggregate at md.aaf.edu.au alongside ten other unimelb.edu.au entities (Mediaflux,
  DaRIS, the Spartan HPC dashboard, SUDO, UMSU); AAF participates in eduGAIN. Identity federation is institution-operated
  by definition and is the single most consequential machine-readable surface most universities run —
  and almost none of them catalogue it.
