Two further campus IdPs are registered — https://idp.nottingham.edu.my/idp/shibboleth (Malaysia) and https://idp.nottingham.edu.cn/idp/shibboleth (Ningbo, China) — along with institution-operated SAML service providers for the DSpace repository (rdmc.nottingham.ac.uk), the Survey of English Place-Names (epns.nottingham.ac.uk, simpleSAMLphp) and International Human Rights Reports (ihrr.nottingham.ac.uk).
