description: 'Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) is a public research university in Johor Bahru and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia,
  one of the five institutions designated a Research University by the Ministry of Higher Education and ranked #181 in the
  QS World University Rankings 2025. UTM publishes no developer portal, no API documentation and no OpenAPI, AsyncAPI or JSON
  Schema of its own, and there is no route by which an unaffiliated developer can obtain a credential for anything it runs.
  Its programmable footprint is entirely made of standards it exposes rather than interfaces it designed, and every one of
  them sits on UTM''s own APNIC allocation (161.139.0.0/16, netname UTM-MY): the UTMIK Repository, a DSpace-CRIS institutional
  knowledge repository whose OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint answers anonymously in twelve metadata formats including rioxx, etdms and
  an OpenAIRE CERIF-for-CRIS profile; the UTM Press journal platform, whose Open Journal Systems OAI-PMH interface has been
  harvestable since 2011 and whose REST API v1 answers 401; and a Microsoft Entra ID tenant whose signed SAML 2.0 metadata
  and OpenID Connect discovery document are the most completely specified machine contract in this profile. UTM is registered
  in ROR, and its own publishing arm, Penerbit UTM Press, is Crossref member 4787 with prefix 10.11113 and 12,640 registered
  DOIs. The older EPrints repository at eprints.utm.my, still listed by ROAR, OpenDOAR and Sherpa and still linked from the
  UTM Library, refused connections on both ports from three independent networks on 2026-09-01 and is recorded here as unreachable
  rather than as a surface.'

    domain ownership — realm discovery on user@utm.my returns FederationBrandName "Universiti Teknologi Malaysia" and NameSpaceType
    "Managed" — and publishes signed SAML 2.0 metadata under entityID https://sts.windows.net/9c827912-3502-4333-ba47-1b242c3d20e6/
    with an IDPSSODescriptor, HTTP-Redirect and HTTP-POST SSO bindings, an SLO binding and WS-Federation RoleDescriptors,
    alongside a full OpenID Connect discovery document. The metadata host is Microsoft's and shared with every Entra customer,
    which is what federation metadata is; the directory it describes is UTM's. No registration_endpoint is published, so the
    authorization server is readable by anyone and callable only by clients UTM provisions. UTM does not appear in the eduGAIN
    entity export, and SIFULAN, the Malaysian Access Federation, returned 403 to every probe, so no claim is made about SIFULAN
    membership.

  detail: 'UTM operates real institution-owned surfaces and they were read, but nothing it runs is consumable as an API by
    an unaffiliated caller. The two anonymously readable interfaces are metadata-harvesting protocols, not APIs UTM designed:
    OAI-PMH 2.0 on the UTMIK DSpace-CRIS repository and on the UTM Press OJS journal platform, both on UTM''s own APNIC allocation.
    Every REST interface behind them is closed — the OJS REST API v1 answers 401 with a JSON authorization error and publishes
    no route to request a token, and the DSpace REST collections answered 403 even though the HAL root is public. The one
    fully specified machine contract, UTM''s Microsoft Entra ID tenant, publishes signed SAML 2.0 metadata and an OIDC discovery
    document that anyone can read, but no registration_endpoint, so a client_id exists only if UTM Digital creates one. There
    is no developer portal: the www.utm.my sitemap contains exactly one policy page and no API, developer or open-data page,
    api.utm.my resolves and returns HTTP 200 with a 17-byte empty IIS document and 404s on every documented path, and no official
    UTM GitHub organization exists (the two name-matching orgs hold zero and one unrelated repository). Two limits are recorded
    rather than treated as findings about UTM. eprints.utm.my, the legacy EPrints repository still listed by ROAR, OpenDOAR
    and Sherpa, refused connections on both ports from three independent networks and is not credited as live. And utmik.utm.my
    answered fully at 17:26Z on 2026-09-01 — the OAI-PMH responseDate is the server''s own proof — then stopped answering
    this environment and two public proxies later the same day, so its pointers may grade dead on a re-probe while the surface
    is real. This is a correct thin profile, not a failed probe: more than fifty URLs were fetched successfully across eleven
    UTM hosts.'

  removed_detail: The `DeveloperPortal` pointer to https://digital.utm.my/ was removed. The host is live and is a genuine
    UTM property, but it is the Office of Quality & Digital Transformation (UTMDX), an administrative office site — not a
    developer portal, no API documentation, no keys, no registration. Claiming a developer program UTM does not run is the
    same presence-is-not-provenance error the university pipeline exists to prevent, and removing it lowers this profile's
    score, which is the correct outcome.
