A discovery service is used to allow users to pick their own IdP. SWAMID operates a central discovery service based on the SAML 2.0 Discovery Protocol.
Services and Endpoints
Since 2015 SWAMID uses the common NORDUnet discovery service:
URL | Protocol | Use |
|---|---|---|
https://md.nordu.net/role/idp.ds | SAML Discovery | Recommended for all services with users from SWAMID member organisations and interfederations |
| TBD | SAML Discovery | Recommended for all services with users only from SWAMID member organisations |
Test
There is also a test discovery service that in addition to swamid-2.0.xml contains everything in swamid-testing-1.0.xml which can be used for test and pre-production use.
URL | Protocol | Use |
|---|---|---|
https://ds-test.swamid.se/role/idp.ds | SAML Discovery | Recommended for test and pre-production |
Software
All discovery services run software from the pyff.io project.
