UQ Identity Provider (SAML 2.0 / Shibboleth)

UQ operates a SAML 2.0 Shibboleth identity provider, entityID urn:mace:federation.org.au:testfed:uq.edu.au, with SSO endpoints for the HTTP-Redirect, HTTP-POST and HTTP-POST-SimpleSign bindings. The entity is present in the live Australian Access Federation aggregate (360 entities) together with 27 UQ-operated service providers, giving UQ eduGAIN reach. Institution-operated by definition and machine-readable — this is the most substantial standards conformance UQ holds.
