Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Administration Guide

ProcedureTo Verify the SAML Single Sign-on Configurations

  1. Login to the OpenSSO Enterprise console running at exampleA.com as the default administrator, amadmin.

  2. To initialize single sign-on from machine A, do one of the following:

    • Access the following URL to use the SAML Artifact profile:

      http://exampleA.com:58080/opensso/SAMLAwareServlet?TARGET=exampleB.com_Target_URL

    • Access the following URL to use the SAML POST profile:

      http://exampleA.com:58080/opensso/SAMPOSTProfileServlet?TARGET=exampleB.com_Target_URL


      Note –

      XML signing must be enabled before running the SAML POST profile. .


    exampleB.com_Target_URL is any URL on the exampleB.com site to which the user will be redirected after a successful single sign-on. For testing purpose, this could be the login page as in TARGET=http://exampleB.com:58080/opensso/UI/Login. If the administrator successfully accesses the OpenSSO Enterprise console on the destination site without manual authentication, an SSOtoken has been created for the principal on the destination site and single sign-on has been properly established.
