As a federated end user in a public cloud, I'd be happy to have a custom
URL / bookmark for my IdP / domain (like
http://customer-x.cloud.example.com/ or http://cloud.example.com/customer-x)
that I need to know to kickoff the correct federated handshake with my IdP
using a single button press ("Login").
