University of Newcastle Australia

University of Newcastle Shibboleth Identity Provider (SAML 2.0 metadata)

UON's institutional identity provider, publishing machine-readable SAML 2.0 metadata at a stable URL. entityID https://idp.newcastle.edu.au/idp/shibboleth, shibmd:Scope newcastle.edu.au, SingleSignOnService endpoints for the HTTP-POST and HTTP-Redirect bindings, and a signing KeyDescriptor whose X.509 certificate carries CN=idp.newcastle.edu.au. Registered in the Australian Access Federation aggregate under the display name "University of Newcastle" and interfederated internationally through eduGAIN. This is institution-operated by definition and is the most consequential machine-readable surface UON runs — and the class of surface that is almost never catalogued.

name: University of Newcastle Shibboleth Identity Provider (SAML 2.0 metadata)
description: UON's institutional identity provider, publishing machine-readable SAML 2.0 metadata at a
  stable URL. entityID https://idp.newcastle.edu.au/idp/shibboleth, shibmd:Scope newcastle.edu.au, SingleSignOnService
  endpoints for the HTTP-POST and HTTP-Redirect bindings, and a signing KeyDescriptor whose X.509 certificate
  carries CN=idp.newcastle.edu.au. Registered in the Australian Access Federation aggregate under the
  display name "University of Newcastle" and interfederated internationally through eduGAIN. This is institution-operated
  by definition and is the most consequential machine-readable surface UON runs — and the class of surface
  that is almost never catalogued.

x-operator: institution
x-operator-evidence: Metadata is served from a newcastle.edu.au host, self-asserts scope newcastle.edu.au,
  and its signing certificate is issued to CN=idp.newcastle.edu.au. Present in the AAF federation aggregate
  under UON's own entityID. The public hostname CNAMEs to AAF's managed idp-cname.aaf.edu.au CloudFront
  front end; the federation entity, scope and signing key remain the university's.
x-developer-usable: false
x-developer-note: An end-user login federation, not a developer authorization surface. There is no client
  registration path, no token endpoint and no consent screen an outside developer could integrate against.
  GET /.well-known/openid-configuration returns 404 — SAML only.
