description: 'Fudan University is a public research university in Shanghai, China, and a member of the national C9 League
  and Double First-Class programme. Its programmable footprint is small and almost entirely internal, but — unusually for
  this cohort — none of it is a vendor''s contract wearing the university''s name: every surface catalogued here runs on a
  host under fudan.edu.cn and is operated by Fudan itself. The real find is identity federation. Fudan operates a Shibboleth
  SAML 2.0 identity provider, registered with the CARSI federation and published to eduGAIN since February 2020, and it serves
  its own SAML metadata live at idpfudan.fudan.edu.cn. Alongside it, id.fudan.edu.cn publishes a working OpenID Connect discovery
  document and JWKS with no authentication required. Both are genuinely machine-readable and neither is documented anywhere
  Fudan publishes. Beyond identity, the Social Science Data Platform migrated off Dataverse to a custom application at rdr.fudan.edu.cn/datahome;
  its JSON backend answers, but it is undocumented, session-bound, and returns application-level refusals with HTTP 200. There
  is no developer portal, no public API key programme, no OAI-PMH, no open data portal, no robots.txt and no llms.txt on the
  main site, and the official GitHub organisation has zero public repositories — the university''s public code lives instead
  in departmental lab organisations.'

  detail: 'Fudan operates real, institution-owned surfaces and two of them publish machine-readable metadata anonymously —
    the SAML 2.0 IdP metadata at idpfudan.fudan.edu.cn/idp/shibboleth and the OpenID Connect discovery document plus JWKS
    at id.fudan.edu.cn/idp. Those are captured and described here in full. Everything the institution actually runs behind
    them is closed: the OIDC endpoints need a client_id issued by the IT Office and there is no public registration; the research
    data platform''s JSON backend answers every unauthenticated call with HTTP 200 and the body {"status":4000,"message":"状态锁不得为空"}.
    No developer portal, no API key programme and no documentation exists for any of it. This is not a bot block and not a
    language barrier — Chinese-language surfaces were searched and read, and the Chinese Information Technology Office pages
    were the source for several corrections here.'

  description: 'The OpenID Connect provider Fudan operates for campus single sign-on at id.fudan.edu.cn. Issuer https://id.fudan.edu.cn/idp.
    The discovery document and the JWKS are both served anonymously and were captured live on 2026-08-30; the endpoints they
    point at require a client_id issued by the Information Technology Office, and there is no public client registration.
    The OpenAPI in this repository is DERIVED from Fudan''s own discovery document, not published by Fudan. One defect is
    recorded as observed: the end-session endpoint is declared under the member name "end_session_endpoint " with a trailing
    space, so a strict discovery client will miss it.'

  description: 'Fudan''s SAML 2.0 identity provider, entityID https://idpfudan.fudan.edu.cn/idp/shibboleth, asserting scope
    fudan.edu.cn. It is registered with CARSI, China''s education federation, and interfederated into eduGAIN, where it has
    carried entity id 671764 since 2020-02-12. Fudan serves the metadata itself: a 14,734-byte EntityDescriptor with both
    an IDPSSODescriptor and an AttributeAuthorityDescriptor, supporting SAML 2.0, SAML 1.1 and the Shibboleth 1.0 profile.
    This is a machine-readable institutional surface that almost no university in this cohort has catalogued, and it is the
    basis of the shibboleth and saml conformance recorded here. One operational note: the self-served copy still carries the
    stock Shibboleth mdui:DisplayName ("A Name for the IdP at idpfudan.fudan.edu.cn"), while the CARSI-registered copy carries
    the proper English and Chinese names.'

  description: 'Fudan''s institutional research data repository, operated by the Research Center for Social Sciences. It moved
    off Dataverse: dvn.fudan.edu.cn now only meta-refreshes to rdr.fudan.edu.cn/datahome, which is a Vue single-page application
    over a Spring Boot backend. That backend is live and returns JSON, but it is undocumented, session-bound, and refuses
    unauthenticated calls with HTTP 200 and an in-body status 4000. No Dataverse REST API, no OAI-PMH and no published API
    of any kind responds on either host, so no contract is saved for this surface. re3data still records the software as Dataverse
    and the PID system as Handle; that record was last updated 2025-07-24 and is stale.'
