UWA Shibboleth Identity Provider (SAML 2.0 metadata)

UWA operates its own Shibboleth identity provider and publishes signed SAML 2.0 federation metadata at https://idp.uwa.edu.au/idp/shibboleth (200, 5,081 bytes). The document is an EntityDescriptor with entityID https://idp.uwa.edu.au/idp/shibboleth, an IDPSSODescriptor supporting urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol, signing and encryption key descriptors (uwa-prod-signing-cert, CN=idp.uwa.edu.au), a shibmd:Scope of uwa.edu.au, transient NameID, and SingleSignOnService bindings for both HTTP-POST and HTTP-Redirect. Institution-operated by definition, machine-readable, and the credential behind essentially every affiliation-gated UWA service. This is the surface class universities genuinely run and almost never catalogue.
