Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) is a Malaysian public research university in Serdang, Selangor, formerly the Universiti Pertanian Malaysia, and ranked #148 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. UPM has no central, publicly documented developer portal, but it does operate machine-readable scholarly and identity infrastructure: an EPrints-based institutional repository (PSAS IR) that exposes a standards-based OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata harvesting interface, and a Shibboleth SAML 2.0 identity provider used for federated single sign-on. Application access for students and staff (study portal, Putra portal, SIMS) is gated behind UPM-ID SSO and is not openly documented.
