Victoria University of Wellington

Enterprise Single Sign-On (WSO2 Identity Server)

The university self-hosts a WSO2 Identity Server at auth-eis.vuw.ac.nz — no CNAME, resolving directly to 130.195.13.55 inside the institution's own address space — and it is the SAML issuer that fronts the student records system. Discovered on 2026-08-30 by following the sign-on redirect from studentrecords.vuw.ac.nz, which arrives at /samlsso with a signed SAMLRequest and RelayState /c/auth/SSB, and returns a login page carrying WSO2's Apache-2.0 copyright header. This is the university's third distinct identity surface and its second institution-operated one, separate from the Shibboleth IdP used for research federation and from the Microsoft Entra ID tenant used for student-facing browser sign-on. Every machine-readable endpoint WSO2 normally exposes — OIDC discovery, SAML2 metadata, SCIM 2.0 ServiceProviderConfig, the SOAP admin services — returns HTTP 403 from a web application firewall that echoes a signature ID and the caller's IP. THAT IS A FINDING, NOT AN ABSENCE: the host is live and the endpoints are protected, so no conformance is claimed for any of them.
