Description
Right now, all we have to describe an IdP user is their username. It'd be nice if we supported providing a SAML attribute in the response for their display name. This would presumably involve configuring at the IdP or Silo level which SAML attribute contains the display name, then storing it with user records, and then using it in the console.

Research direction
Start by tracing SAML response handling and the IdP or Silo configuration, then inspect how user records are stored and how the console reads user data. Done means a configured SAML attribute is returned for the display name, persisted with the user record, and shown in the console.
