University of Oxford Shibboleth Identity Provider
A SAML 2.0 identity provider serving live machine-readable metadata, with Redirect/SSO, POST/SSO, POST-SimpleSign/SSO, POST/SLO and SOAP/Redirect/SLO bindings and a signing certificate rotated 2026-05-15. Oxford is registered in the UK Access Management Federation and eduGAIN with one production and two test identity providers, plus 35 service providers spanning central IT, departments and colleges — All Souls, Worcester, Lincoln, Keble, St Hilda's, Brasenose, Exeter, St John's, Continuing Education, NDORMS, Structural Biology, Statistics and the Text Archive among them. Caveat recorded rather than hidden: the document served at the metadata URL is the Shibboleth software's built-in self-description and still carries the product's default placeholder display name and an internal node entityID; the federation registration, not that document, is the authoritative identity.
