# How to change adapter display (friendly) name

This document describes how to change the display (friendly) name of the Fortified ADFS adapters.

### Issue

After installing and enabling the Fortified ID ADFS adapter(s), the default display names will be:

Many organizations would like to change the display names to align to internal requirements.

### Solution

* Open Windows Powershell on the ADFS server (in a farm, any ADFS server may be used)
* Execute command\
  `Get-AdfsAuthenticationProvider`\
  This will list the authentication providers installed.
* Find the name of the adapter which display name you would like to change
* Execute command\
  `Set-AdfsAuthenticationProviderWebContent -Name ADAPTER_NAME -DisplayName "DISPLAY_NAME" -locale sv`\
  \
  Example:\
  `Set-AdfsAuthenticationProviderWebContent -Name FortifiedID.ADFS.SITHS.QR -DisplayName "Mobilt SITHS" -locale sv`\
  \
  The command must be executed for each language-settings (locale)
* No restart required
* The change should now be displayed to the end user
