University of Padova Shibboleth Identity Provider (SAML metadata) is one of 5 APIs that [University of Padua](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-padua/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Identity Federation, SAML, Shibboleth, Single Sign-On, and eduGAIN. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and authentication docs.

The University of Padua operates its own Shibboleth Identity Provider and publishes its SAML 2.0 metadata anonymously at https://shibidp.cca.unipd.it/idp/shibboleth — HTTP 200, application/xml, 17,853 bytes, entityID "https://shibidp.cca.unipd.it/idp/shibboleth", OrganizationName "Università degli Studi di Padova". The document declares SingleSignOnService endpoints for the HTTP-POST, HTTP-POST-SimpleSign and HTTP-Redirect bindings, plus mdui display names and an InformationURL pointing at the institution's IDEM page. Padua participates in IDEM GARR and, through it, eduGAIN. This is institution-operated identity infrastructure by definition and is the most complete machine-readable artifact the institution publishes — it is not a self-service API and issues no keys.
