Frequently asked questions
Can I verify that someone is affiliated with IUCAA?
Yes. IUCAA participates in INFED, which shares academic identity providers through eduGAIN. Users prove their affiliation by signing in with their IUCAA account via SAML single sign-on — no document uploads, no passwords, no identity data stored on Studid.
Does IUCAA support persistent identifiers?
Not necessarily. IUCAA does not advertise a NameID format, so identifiers are likely to be transient (per-login). authIdentifier may be null — you can still confirm which institution the user logged in from via entityId.
Which country is IUCAA in?
IUCAA is located in India.
How do I verify students from IUCAA?
Create a verification session via POST /v2/auth/verification, redirect the user to the returned link, and poll GET /v2/auth/verification/{id} after they authenticate at IUCAA. The integration guide has a complete walkthrough.
