Installing the Discovery Service
| Note |
|---|
This section describes the Centralized Discovery Service which is primarily aimed at providing a backstop service for Federation and other metadata aggregating and distributing agences. Outside this scope it is very limited. Service Providers are recommended to install the Embedded Discovery Service. |

The first question you should ask is whether you need to install the DiscoveryService. If you're working in a non-Java environment, you may find it easier to build a selection page in a more native fashion. The SP also supports the Embedded Discovery Service which is usually a better choice for SPs which need to implement discovery.
