Live probes 2026-08-19 of s-space.snu.ac.kr (DSpace Generator meta tag),
kossda.snu.ac.kr (DSpace Generator meta tag), the eduGAIN metadata registration
extension for https://kafegw.snu.ac.kr/idp/simplesamlphp, and negative probes for
changelog / status / deprecation surfaces on snu.ac.kr.
versioning:
scheme: protocol-version
mechanism: >-
None of SNU's surfaces are versioned by SNU. Each is pinned to the version of the
protocol it implements — OAI-PMH 2.0, OpenSearch 1.1, SAML 2.0 — and the only version
that moves is the version of the software underneath it, which SNU does not announce.
docs: null
notes: >-
There is no API version header, no version path segment, and no published version
policy on any SNU surface. A consumer's only version signal is the `` tag the repository software emits.
software_versions:
- surface: S-Space
host: s-space.snu.ac.kr
software: DSpace 5.5
evidence: ' in the served HTML, 2026-08-19'
note: >-
DSpace 5.5 was released in 2016 and is long out of support upstream; DSpace 7 and 8
have shipped since. This matters to an integrator: the DSpace 7 REST API
(/server/api) that most current DSpace tooling targets does not exist here, and the
repository's only programmable surfaces are the 5.x-era OAI-PMH and OpenSearch ones.
- surface: KOSSDA
host: kossda.snu.ac.kr
software: DSpace 5.6
evidence: ' in the served HTML, 2026-08-19'
- surface: SNU Identity Provider
host: kafegw.snu.ac.kr
software: SimpleSAMLphp
evidence: >-
Endpoint paths /saml/module.php/saml/idp/* are the SimpleSAMLphp layout; exact
release not disclosed.
deprecation:
policy_url: null
changelog: null
sunset_header: false
notes: >-
SNU publishes no deprecation policy, no changelog, and no RFC 8594 Sunset or
Deprecation headers on any surface. A consumer would learn of a breaking change by
the harvest failing.
key_expiry:
- surface: SNU Identity Provider
what: SAML signing and encryption X.509 certificates
not_after: '2028-06-03'
issued: '2018-06-04'
note: >-
Ten-year self-signed certificates issued to CN=kafegw.snu.ac.kr. Recorded because
it is the one hard dated commitment anywhere in SNU's public surface, and because a
federation partner needs the rollover date.
- surface: SNU Identity Provider registration
what: KAFE federation registration
registered: '2024-06-25'
sla:
url: null
public_uptime_target: null
status_page: null
notes: >-
No status page was found on any snu.ac.kr host. KOSSDA's OAI-PMH Identify required a
read timeout above 45 seconds to complete on 2026-08-19 and failed at 30s and 45s;
there is no published availability commitment against which to read that.
