University of Waikato Identity Provider (uowidp)
The university's own OpenID Connect 1.0 provider, on its own API gateway at api.svc.waikato.ac.nz/uowidp/v1. Verified live 2026-09-01: the discovery document returns HTTP 200 declaring issuer https://api.svc.waikato.ac.nz/uowidp/v1, authorization, token, logout and JWKS endpoints, scopes_supported [openid, profile, email], response types [code, id_token, code id_token], RS256 id_token signing and client_secret_post client authentication; the JWKS returns a live RSA signing key. It is a real institution surface with real consumers — the ITS-built Blazor timetable declares client_id timetable-prod in its own appsettings.json, and my.waikato.ac.nz (SITS:Vision) redirects here with client_id SITS-Prod. The provider fronts the university's Microsoft Entra ID tenant: userinfo_endpoint is graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me and the claim set carries Entra's oid and ver. Client registration is closed — no registration_endpoint, no dynamic client registration, no documentation page. This is the one machine-readable contract on this estate that the institution both operates and publishes.
