Last Friday (1/22) a new IdP was introduced into production metadata.
The MDUI Logo URL in the IdP's metadata had a trailing non-breaking
space character. (&#xA0;) Subsequently we received one report of this
Logo URL breaking an embedded discovery interface. We have not been
able to confirm that report, however.

If you received any such reports, or a report that you think may be
related to this, please contact us at


As of this morning (1/25), the extraneous character has been removed
from production metadata. FYI, we signed and published a fresh
aggregate at 8:34 am ET.

We are taking steps to prevent this from happening again. We apologize
for any inconvenience this may have caused.
