USM's own SAML 2.0 Shibboleth identity provider, entityID https://shibsso.usm.my/idp/shibboleth, scope usm.my. Registered in the SIFULAN Malaysian Access Federation on 2021-10-30 under registration authority https://sifulan.my, carried in SIFULAN's eduGAIN export, and tagged with the REFEDS Research and Scholarship entity category. Published bindings: SSO over HTTP-POST, HTTP-Redirect and POST-SimpleSign plus the Shibboleth 1.0 AuthnRequest profile; SLO over POST, Redirect and SOAP; an AttributeAuthority over SAML1 and SAML2 SOAP; artifact resolution over SOAP. In live production use — an unauthenticated request to eduvpn.usm.my lands on the IdP's SAML2 Redirect SSO endpoint. A federation is shared by definition; the IdP behind it is USM's.
