When you got your web service ready with a installed and running Service Provider you need to make it easier for the users to use your service. The hardest step is to make the identity providers to release needed attributes to your service. This can be done in two different ways and you need to do both of them.

• 4.1 Enable support for automatic attribute release from identity providers with Entity Categories for Service Providers.
• 4.2 If your service shall be available within the international academic identity federations inform SWAMID Operations that your Service Provider shall be exported to eduGAIN.
• 4.3 Contact the identity providers that you've know that you have users from and be sure that they release needed attributes, preferable with an entity category and with a manual release if you need special attributes, ie. entitlements.

Don't forget to enhance user experience with Service Provider Metadata Extensions for Login and Discovery User Interface (MDUI). Look at the example to understand what the MDUI information can do with the user experience. More information and good practice for how to design a good login user interface can be found in the REFEDS login and discovery guidelines.
