Development IdP

To help implementing SAML in CDH applications, a development Identity Provider is available as a local testing target during implementation. It can emulate the UU IdP as well as SurfConext.

The app is available on the CDH GitHub. Please refer to the README for setup. The interface itself should be self-explaining; if anything is unclear, please open an issue!

Hosted test IdP

This IdP is also deployed on a CDH server, to test the deployment of SAML-enabled apps before testing said app with the UU (acceptation) IdP/SurfConext.

It can also be used for non-acceptation deployments (e.g. test/dev), for quickly testing new SAML configurations or having more control over test accounts.

Please ask around for details regarding the location and credentials.

Warning

Just like the local variant, the hosted test IdP is not considered secure in any way. Thus, you should only connect deployed apps not containing anything sensitive.

As it’s meant for testing non-production apps, this should already be the case per UU information security practices. Thus, this warning is also a reminder to follow those practices.
