Standards Center

Welcome to the Shibboleth Standards Center.

Here you can find:

• Pointers to external standards work the Shibboleth project is involved with.
• Details of Shibboleth "project standards": specifications which typically outlast a single Shibboleth product version and which are intended for implementation by software interoperating with Shibboleth products.

Project standards hosted here:

• SAML 2.0 Metadata Extensions for Shibboleth
• SAML 2.0 Metadata Profile for OAuth and OpenID Connect
• SAML 2.0 Metadata Profile for CAS
• SAML 2.0 Metadata Profile for WS-Federation

We also host the URN registry for names allocated under the "urn:mace:shibboleth" namespace.
