The configuration on this page is held in the federation's metadata and is not performed on the Service Provider (SP).

For Service Providers that use the SWAMID federation it is strongly recommended that at least the extensions <mdui:DisplayName> and <mdui:Description> is used. Some Entity Categories may require a specific use of MDUI Extensions in metadata.

To make a more user friendly federation login it is possible to present information about the requesting Service Provider (SP) on a Identity Provider (IdP) login page and in a Discovery Service (DS) selection with SAML V2.0 Metadata Extensions for Login and Discovery User interface Version 1.0 (MDUI). It is possible for the SP to add some metadata to their entry in the federations metadata feed which presents some basic information about the SP.

To add MDUI metadata for your Service Provider in the SWAMID metadata feed you need to create the XML data described on this page and send it to SWAMID Operations.

This page describes the MDUI metadata for Service Providers. There is a page in Swedish for Identity Provider MDUI metadata that can be presented in a Service Provider or a Discovery Service.
