Frequently asked questions

Can I verify that someone is affiliated with UCAR?

Yes. UCAR participates in InCommon, which shares academic identity providers through eduGAIN. Users prove their affiliation by signing in with their UCAR account via SAML single sign-on — no document uploads, no passwords, no identity data stored on Studid.

Does UCAR support persistent identifiers?

Not necessarily. UCAR 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.

How do I verify students from UCAR?

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 UCAR. The integration guide has a complete walkthrough.
