description: Dartmouth's SAML identity provider, registered in the InCommon federation under entityID
  urn:mace:incommon:dartmouth.edu and retrievable as machine-readable metadata over the InCommon MDQ protocol.
  The document declares SAML 1.1 and SAML 2.0 support, an AttributeAuthorityDescriptor, and SingleSignOnService
  endpoints on login2.dartmouth.edu. Institution-operated by definition and the one open machine-readable
  artifact Dartmouth itself publishes.
x-operator-note: 'A host-based audit reads mdq.incommon.org as a shared vendor host because other institutions
  resolve there too. That verdict is wrong for this class: InCommon MDQ is a federation registry that
  serves each member its OWN metadata under its own entityID, and the document returned for urn:mace:incommon:dartmouth.edu
  is Dartmouth''s, authored by Dartmouth, describing Dartmouth''s IdP. Do not reclassify this as vendor
  and do not remove it.'
