You are receiving this message because you are a Site Administrator for
InCommon (or are otherwise subscribed to this mailing list). This message is
FYI only.

If your organization registers one or more IdPs with the InCommon Federation
(or you intend to do so), please read on for more information.

On Monday, August 8, 2016, InCommon Ops will deploy a new version of the
Federation Manager [1] with the following modification: the IdP
mdui:DisplayName will become an editable field. See the “User Interface
Elements in IdP Metadata” [2] wiki page for more information about
mdui:DisplayName.

This simple modification will have no direct effect on InCommon metadata.
However, if you edit your IdP mdui:DisplayName, the edited value will be
reflected in metadata and downstream discovery interfaces that depend on
metadata may display that value automatically. Consequently, you should
modify the IdP mdui:DisplayName with care since your users will select their
IdP based on the value of mdui:DisplayName you provide in metadata. See [2]
for additional tips and recommendations.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at
