UW-Madison Identity Provider (Shibboleth) is one of 16 APIs that [University of Wisconsin-Madison](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-wisconsin-madison/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Identity Federation, SAML, Shibboleth, OpenID Connect, and Single Sign-On.

Institution-operated Shibboleth IdP at login.wisc.edu, machine-readable on two protocols and almost never catalogued for a university. https://login.wisc.edu/idp/shibboleth returns SAML 2.0 metadata (entityID https://login.wisc.edu/idp/shibboleth, shibmd:Scope wisc.edu, signing and encryption keys), and https://login.wisc.edu/.well-known/openid-configuration returns a full OIDC discovery document. This governs campus SSO and the vendor tenants — it is NOT the API gateway, which uses OAuth 2.0 client credentials and publishes no discovery document.
