Waikato SAML 2.0 Identity Provider in Tuakiri is one of 14 APIs that [University of Waikato](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-waikato/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Identity Federation, SAML, Shibboleth, Single Sign-On, and Metadata. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

The University of Waikato's Shibboleth Identity Provider, entityID https://idp.waikato.ac.nz/idp/shibboleth, registered in the signed Tuakiri (New Zealand Access Federation) metadata aggregate since 2012-10-15 under registrationAuthority https://tuakiri.ac.nz/. The entry carries mdui:DisplayName "The University of Waikato", shibmd:Scope waikato.ac.nz, the REFEDS Research & Scholarship entity category and REFEDS Sirtfi assurance certification, and it is exported to eduGAIN — verified in both aggregates 2026-09-01. The identity, the users and the attribute release are the institution's. The IdP deployment is not: every SingleSignOnService and SingleLogoutService Location resolves to hosted-login.tuakiri.ac.nz/hosting/waikato.ac.nz/idp/ and the signing certificate CN is hosted-login.tuakiri.ac.nz/hosting/waikato.ac.nz, so the university runs on REANNZ's Tuakiri Hosted IdP service. Recorded as the institution's federation membership, not as its engineering.
