Test Artifact Single Sign-on

After you have set up the sample web pages, you can test single sign-on and verify that that partnership configuration is successful.

To test federated single sign-on

1. Be sure both sides of the partnership are activated in the Federation Manager UI.
2. Open up a browser.
3. Enter the URL for the web page that triggers single sign-on, as follows:

   http://spapp.demo.com:80/spsample/testartifact.html

   Note: In this sample network, Federation Manager is deployed in standalone mode, therefore, the target web server is a different server than the one where Federation Manager resides.

   Upon entering the URL, a page should be displayed with a link that reads Link to Test ARTIFACT Single Sign-on.

4. Click Link to Test ARTIFACT Single Sign-on and single sign-on is initiated.

   The user is redirected from the AuthnRequest Service at the SP to the Single Sign-on Service at the Identity Provider.

After the Identity Provider authenticates the user and establishes a session, it directs the user back to the target resource at the Service Provider, which is welcome.html. You should see the sample welcome page you created at the SP, letting you know that single sign-on was successful.
