This topic tells you how an administrator can test the connection between Single Sign‑On for VMware Tanzu Application Service and Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS). An administrator can test both service provider and identity provider connections.

You can test your identity provider integration by deploying the Pivotal Single Sign-On Service Sample Applications.

Test Your Service Provider Connection

  1. Log in to Apps Manager at https://apps.SYSTEM-DOMAIN and navigate to the org and space where your application is located.

  2. Under Services, locate the service instance of the Single Sign‑On plan bound to your app. Click on the service instance and click Manage.
