Description
Feature request to allow Silo Admins to add custom banner text to Silo login pages, before user authentication. This could serve a couple purposes:
- Provide general information about the Silo to all users, such as as to contact for Silo administration for issues and gaining access.
- Display system use notifications for providing privacy and security notices that are consistent with any applicable laws, policies, etc.
Implementing this feature will allow us to support the NIST SP 800-53 AC-08 control, which is required for many federal information systems.

Determine how Silo Admins would configure the banner and verify that the configured text appears to unauthenticated users while supporting the stated informational and privacy-notice use cases.
