metadata UI displayname and multiple application overrides

[Jeff Silverman]

Hi, Scott. Thanks for the quick response.

I'm sure I'm missing something. However, I don't see any way to fill
"<mdui:DisplayName>" in separately for each entityID in the InCommon
Metadata generator.

Currently we use "ApplicationOverride" on the same SP, to map different
"apps" to different Apache VirtualHosts.

Using my previous example, "Bigschool University": in shibboleth2.xml we'd
have a <Host>, an <ApplicationOverride>; in the InCommon Metadata, we'd
have an ACS Endpoint that specifies this app's Apache VirtualHost. However,
all of the apps will see only one mdui:DisplayName.

What am I missing?

Thanks
