What are entity pages?
Entity pages include information about one specific entity (an identity provider or a service provider) in Federation metadata.
What do entity pages contain?
Each entity page contains:
- the name and logo of the identity provider or service provider
- a short description of the identity provider or service provider
- a URL that leads to additional information
- a URL that leads to a privacy statement
- contact information (names and email addresses for the administrative, technical, and support contacts in metadata)
- for service providers, a list of requested attributes in metadata
What are MDUI elements?
MDUI (MetaData User Interface) elements in Federation metadata are used by applications to construct rich, dynamic user interfaces (UIs). Specifically, user interface elements in IdP metadata are used for the discovery and error pages at the service provider, while user interface elements in service provider metadata are used for the login, consent, and error pages at the identity provider. The goal is to unify the various user interfaces associated with cross-domain single sign-on, thereby enhancing the overall user experience.
How do I add MDUI elements to my metadata?
Detailed instructions, including screen shots, are available on the User Interface Elements page in this wiki.
