UOW Shibboleth Identity Provider (SAML 2.0 metadata)

The University of Wollongong's own SAML 2.0 Identity Provider. Its EntityDescriptor is served publicly and unauthenticated at https://idp.uow.edu.au/idp/shibboleth (HTTP 200, application/xml, 4,358 bytes) with entityID https://idp.uow.edu.au/idp/shibboleth, a shibmd:Scope of uow.edu.au, IdP-Signing and IdP-Encryption X.509 key descriptors, HTTP-POST and HTTP-Redirect SingleSignOnService bindings, and the requested attributes auEduPersonSharedToken, email and displayName. The same entity is present in the Australian Access Federation aggregate metadata at md.aaf.edu.au/aaf-metadata.xml (HTTP 200, 3,188,501 bytes), which is how UOW federates with AAF service providers. The IdP is run on AAF's Rapid IdP managed Shibboleth service — the 404 page at idp.uow.edu.au titles itself "Rapid IdP Manager" — but the entity, the scope, the signing keys and the released attributes are UOW's. This is the strongest institution-operated machine-readable surface in the profile.
