Voilà: https://wiki.edugain.org/isFederatedCheck/Federations/
That link now shows the federation table without JavaScript.

Once technical.edugain.org is available, it might indeed make sense to
move the isFederatedCheck to that site.

The main purpose of this comment is to make users aware not to use this
URL directly without validating the signature of the metadata. However,
for these federations where you see that comment, I did not find any
information about the signing certificate on their web pages... Most of
them are H&S federations.

But then again, if one cannot find information on the signing cert, this
or any other comment is kind of obsolete anyway :-)

Any recommendations?


Best Regards
Lukas
