University of Rochester Shibboleth Identity Provider is one of 4 APIs that [University of Rochester](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-rochester/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network.

SAML 2.0 / Shibboleth identity provider metadata for the University of Rochester, published machine-readably at its own entityID. The EntityDescriptor carries an IDPSSODescriptor supporting SAML 1.1 and SAML 2.0 with a shibmd:Scope of rochester.edu. Institution-operated by definition — federation identity is not something a university can outsource the assertion of — and the single most reliably machine-readable surface most institutions run.
