IdP as quasi-portal?

[John C. Pfeifer]

In our login.vm, we have:

	#springMessageText("umd.cas.announcement", “")

The shib admins are the only ones who can set the property (which is usually blank). We generally only use this for announcements about the SSO service itself (such as Duo rollouts).

I would be opposed to using this for generalized announcements; I’d think that a intercept page might be more appropriate since it is more “in the face” and you could also set it up that the user only gets the message once a day (or whatever time interval is desired).
