When you press "Save," an <mdui:UIInfo> extension element is inserted into your metadata. If you select at least one requested attribute, an <md:AttributeConsumingService> element (containing <md:RequestedAttribute> elements) is inserted into your metadata as well. From that point forward, you manage these elements the same as you would any other metadata element.

All of the input fields below except Display Name are optional for SPs.

Display Name

The Display Name is a user friendly name for the service. Typically, the value of the Display Name field will appear on login and error pages at the IdP, and also on the consent page. If the corresponding element <mdui:DisplayName> does not exist in metadata, applications are required to fall back on the <md:OrganizationDisplayName> element, which typically does not reflect the service but rather the organization that runs the service. Such an organization may in fact run multiple SP services so the organization name is a poor choice to use on a user interface.

This The <mdui:DisplayName> element is required in InCommon metadataan optional child element of the <mdui:UIInfo> extension element but SP operators are required to supply this information.

Description

A brief description Description (100 characters or less) of the service may be provided. On systems computers that support a pointing device (such as a mouse, e.g.), the content of this input field will pop up when the user hovers over the Display Name.

Note
titleThe Relation Between your POP and the Privacy Statement

Since you only have one POP, it necessarily applies to all of your SP deployments. In that sense, the granularity of the POP is not sufficient for those sites supporting multiple SPs. On the other hand, your Privacy Statement refers to a single SP deployment.

Note: A Privacy Statement may be shared across multiple SP deployments. Not all SPs have the same privacy requirements, however, so you should carefully consider the granularity that best fits your overall SP deployment.

Logo URL

The Logo URL is a service logo for building graphical user interfaces

The <mdui:Logo> This element is an optional child element of the <mdui:UIInfo> extension element but SP operators are encouraged to supply this information. Although this element is optional, there are applications that can leverage this element in metadata. A consent interface, for example, may use a visual cue (i.e., a logo) instead of or in addition to the Display Name.

SP operators are encouraged to provide a Logo URL that satisfies the following requirements:

  • the Logo URL must be specified using an HTTPS URL
  • the resource at the Logo URL must be an unprotected image resource
  • the host in the Logo URL must reside in a domain owned by the IdP

The first two are technical requirements whereas the latter is a policy requirement. These are the only strict requirements of a logo Logo URL in metadata.

The actual size of the logo may vary. You will be asked to enter the actual width and height of the logo (in pixels). The A downstream application will select your logo (or not) based on the actual width and height entered into metadata.
