  The following settings
  where before the change:

  to change display name I'm getting the above error.
  

Local fix

• Below is an example of updating a registry display name using
  the toolkit: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSMN
  ED_2018/com.ibm.apic.toolkit.doc/capim_cli_working_with.html
  
  
  ./apic-slim login --server apimsvc01.hursley.ibm.com
  --username admin --realm admin/default-idp-1
  
  ./apic
  user-registries:list -s apimsvc01.hursley.ibm.com --org admin

  ./apic user-registries:get
  -s apimsvc01.hursley.ibm.com --org admin cloud-manager-lur
  
  creates a local file called: cloud-manager-lur.yaml
  
  Edit
  cloud-manager-lur.yaml, changing just the title in the
  'identify providers' providers to the desired display naem,
  deleting most of the other lines:
  
  type:
  user_registry
  api_version: 2.0.0
  id:
  8afe4532-a9ed-4b9a-adaa-aed1b9c0c6a3
  identity_providers:
   -
  name: default-idp-1
   title: NEW DISPLAY NAME
  
  Update the
  registry details using above edited file:
  
  ./apic
  user-registries:update -s apimsvc01.hursley.ibm.com --org admin
  cloud-manager-lur cloud-manager-lur.yaml
