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.
