Permission to use Shibboleth logo

[Stuart Kacy]

The way I have it set it is users can either log in manually using our authentication system, or they can click the Shibboleth image below the username and password textboxes to pick an institution.  I'm not sure what I could use in place of the Shibboleth logo that would allow users to understand what the link does.

Internet2 does, but we would not encourage such a use. Shibboleth "users" 
don't know anything about Shibboleth and we don't really want them to. It wouldn't be an effective choice on your part.

The fact is that there is no such branding in the federated world. That's why Facebook, et al are so successful at hijacking Internet identity.
