The version of Discovery Service referenced in this article is slated fo= r release on May 5, 2020. We are making the documentation available ahead o= f time to help communicate the coming changes.
This article applies to the May 2020 release of the InCommon Discovery S= ervice.
To facilitate global academic collaboration, the Discovery Service= now includes all Identity Providers listed in the global eduGAIN inter-fed= eration as well as those registered in the InCommon Federation.=
Where applicable, collaborators from institutions around the world= can now select their home institutions in the InCommon Discovery Service w= hen signing into your service.
Previous versions of the InCommon Discovery Service offered different "r= emember my selection" options, but it didn't an option to "forget my select= ion". The new version has been streamlined to just one "Remember selection = for this web browser session" option. This is how the new streamlined featu= re works:
On your first ever visit to the Discovery Service, the service will pres= ent a default interface prompting you to choose your home institution. Make= your selection and optionally check the "Remember selection for this web b= rowser session" option.
As long as you are within the same browser session (i.e., you have not q= uit the browser), the service will honor your choice and silently direct yo= u to the home organization you previously selected for sign-in. The Discove= ry Service will not present its user interface.
The Discovery Service will present its user interface prompting you to m= ake a selection. However, it will remember your previous selection and pre-= select it in the dropdown.
If you quit your browser and return to the Discovery Service at a later = time, the Discovery Service will present its user interface prompting you t= o make a selection during your first visit of that session. It will remembe= r your previous selection and pre-select it in the dropdown. It will also r= emember whether you had previously check the "Remember selection..." checkb= ox.
Subsequent visits within that session behaves the same way as described = in the Using the Discovery Service for the first time section.&nbs= p;
The May 2020 release of the InCommon Discovery Service sports a cleaner = look and feel. Besides the updated styling, it prominently features the nam= e of the resource you are signing into:
TIP for Resource Providers: Name your service with care= . Choosing a clear and descriptive display name for your service really hel= ps your user understand what happens next when he/she signs in via the Disc= overy Service. Take a moment, sign into Federation Manager and enter a good= name in the mdui:displyaName field.
