**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/university-of-melbourne/sso-okta/

University SSO — OpenID Connect Discovery (Okta tenancy) is one of 8 APIs that [University of Melbourne](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-melbourne/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Authentication, OpenID Connect, Okta, SSO, and Tenant.

TENANT RELATIONSHIP. sso.unimelb.edu.au is an Okta Identity Cloud tenancy running under a University vanity hostname. The OpenID Connect discovery document and the RFC 8414 authorization-server metadata both returned 200 on 2026-08-19, with issuer https://sso.unimelb.edu.au and endpoints under /oauth2/v1/. Okta operates the platform — grant_types_supported carries urn:okta:params:oauth:grant-type:otp and Auth0 MFA grant URNs — while the University configures it. Client registration is not open; there is no developer sign-up. Recorded because a live, machine-readable identity surface under the institution's own domain is a real fact about it, and credited to Okta because the contract is Okta's.
