University of Michigan-Ann Arbor

U-M Shibboleth Identity Provider (InCommon)

The University of Michigan's own Shibboleth SAML 2.0 identity provider, and the most unambiguously institution-operated machine-readable surface U-M publishes. GET https://shibboleth.umich.edu/idp/shibboleth returns 200 application/xml (10,923 bytes) — an IDPSSODescriptor with protocolSupportEnumeration urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol, signing and encryption key descriptors, SSO and SLO endpoints, and shibmd:Scope entries for umich.edu, annarbor.umich.edu, umd.umich.edu, dearborn.umich.edu and flint.umich.edu. Registered in InCommon and therefore reachable through eduGAIN. U-M ITS Identity and Access Management publishes working SAML and OIDC service-provider integration examples publicly at github.com/umich-iam. This is federation metadata, not a REST API — there is no OpenAPI to write and none has been invented.
