Jay Sundu (Apr 02 2024 at 17:40): Jay Sundu (Apr 02 2024 at 17:40):Hi there. Is there a recommended way to display a list (and a default value) of IdPs that are allowed login? Also, how can I use a 'pretty name' instead of the urn from our campus Idp in the "Your Institution" drop down list on the login page?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Apr 02 2024 at 18:36):Is https://dataverse.lib.virginia.edu close to what you want?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Apr 02 2024 at 18:40):Here are the docs: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.2/installation/shibboleth.html#specific-identity-provider-s
Jay Sundu (Apr 02 2024 at 20:47):Thanks Phillip. We need to have two IdPs instead of just one, so I think I need to add the second IdP to my IdP metadata file, which I'll try unless told that is incorrect.
As for the pretty name, I saw this doc and wondered if <mdui:DisplayName> was something I could add to the IdP metadata and be displayed in the UI. Is there a way to set a pretty name for the IdP instead of it using the EntityID in the IdP metadata?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Apr 02 2024 at 20:51):That sounds right. Off hand, I can't think of a Dataverse installation that allows two IdPs, but it should work.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Apr 02 2024 at 21:02):And I do think you should be able to hack on the XML and add a pretty name somewhere.
Jay Sundu (Apr 03 2024 at 16:34):Looking further, it appears it might be best to use the Embedded Discovery Service as documented here:

Philip Durbin 🚀 (Apr 03 2024 at 20:15):Right, we basically forked EDS a long time ago and included it with Dataverse
Jay Sundu (Apr 05 2024 at 01:05):I got two IdPs working by using <MetadataProvider type="Chaining"> and the pretty name by using <mdui:DisplayName>
Thanks again Phllip!
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Apr 05 2024 at 05:26):Great! Good job!
