This article presents the steps required to deploy an SP in a test environment to ensure its connectivity and interoperability with GFIPM IDPs within the context of the GFIPM Trust Fabric.

Any new SP must be "connected" to a test environment by adding the SP to the test environment's trust fabric. The trust fabric update process consists of these steps:

  1. Provide your SP's entity metadata to the federation manager.
  2. The federation manager adds the new entity to the test environment trust fabric.
  3. All participants in the test environment load the new test environment trust fabric into their IDPs and SPs.

You can test whether your SP's entry into the test environment's trust fabric has succeeded by verifying its SAML interoperability with other systems in the test environment.

The GFIPM Reference Federation is an excellent resource that is generally available for use as a test environment for GFIPM SPs. It contains a large number of useful and necessary resources for implementing and testing your service provider. These topics are covered more thoroughly in [Appendix A].
