  EXAMPLE ARTIFACT - API Evangelist / all/western
  generated: 2026-08-30
  method:    probed
  source:    https://caf-shib2ops.ca/CoreServices/caf_metadata_signed_sha256.xml
  operator:  institution (Western University)

  Western University's Shibboleth Identity Provider entry, extracted verbatim from the
  Canadian Access Federation (CAF) signed metadata aggregate on 2026-08-30. The aggregate
  held 202 entities; exactly one carries a uwo.ca entityID. registrationAuthority is
  http://www.canarie.ca (CANARIE, the CAF operator). The same entity is present in CAF's
  eduGAIN export (edugain_caf_metadata_signed_sha256.xml, 124 entities), so Western's IdP
  is interfederated internationally.

  This file is API Evangelist's extraction of a third-party federation aggregate. Western
  publishes the entity; CANARIE publishes the aggregate. Nothing here was authored by us.
