Warwick Shibboleth Identity Provider is one of 8 APIs that [University of Warwick](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-warwick/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Identity Federation, SAML, Shibboleth, Authentication, and Education. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes authentication docs.

Warwick's Shibboleth SAML 2.0 identity provider. Publishes unauthenticated, machine-readable federation metadata as a SAML EntityDescriptor with entityID https://idp.warwick.ac.uk/idp/shibboleth, a shibmd:Scope of warwick.ac.uk, and entity attributes asserting REFEDS SIRTFI assurance certification and the REFEDS Research and Scholarship entity category. Institution-operated by definition — a university cannot outsource being its own identity authority — and this is the single most substantive machine-readable artifact Warwick publishes.
