SSO@UKM — SAML 2.0 Identity Provider

Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia's own SAML 2.0 identity provider, a SimpleSAMLphp deployment at sso.ukm.my. Publishes unauthenticated SAML 2.0 metadata (application/samlmetadata+xml, 4,261 bytes) with an IDPSSODescriptor carrying separate signing and encryption X.509 keys, HTTP-Redirect SingleSignOnService and SingleLogoutService endpoints, the transient NameID format and a technical contact at server@ukm.edu.my. Confirmed in production: libquest.ukm.my redirects unauthenticated visitors to /saml2/idp/SSOService.php as SP smuSSO-sp. Three weaknesses are visible in the metadata itself — entityID is the bare string "sso.ukm.my" rather than a URI, the document is not XML-signed, and no validUntil or cacheDuration tells a relying party when to re-fetch. UKM is not registered in eduGAIN and does not appear under SIFULAN, so no federation operator is checking any of this on its behalf.

This is an independent, third-party profile of SSO@UKM — SAML 2.0 Identity Provider, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
