Update documentation for obtaining member institution entity_id

[marisastrong]

When configuring a new tenant, the member institution should provide their entity_id. Dryad SP no longer performs a daily refresh of the InCommon metadata file on the system; instead it performs a query to the InCommon Metadata Query service (MDQ) passing in the entity_id as a parameter to obtain current metadata.

https://mdq.incommon.org/entities/<$entityID>

Therefore it would be preferred if the member institution provided the entity_id to Dryad. An alternative is to search for the institution's IdP on the InCommon website. https://incommon.org/community-organizations/

Instructions for configuring a new tenant should be updated to reflect this change.

I am seeing in recent requests that the entity_id is mentioned. However I'm not quite sure how we verify if someone is in Research & Scholarship or if they need manual configuration. IDK if that's something users will know or if we need to look it up. We probably need to add something to our docs about determining R&S at least.

If you search by entity_id in Incommon.org, it'll note if a user is R&S

https://incommon.org/community-organization/?id=0015000000IL7DZAA1

Also the REFEDS Metadata Search Tool will note if an entity is a member of R&S

Example: https://met.refeds.org/met/search_service/?entityid=%09https%3A%2F%2Fdatadryad.org%2Fshibboleth

Enter the entity_id in the search box in the upper right hand corner

From the search results, Click on the entity ID and it will display the metadata. R&S will be noted in the Entities Categories Section:
