# Task 3: Test The Workflow

The Test the Workflow endpoints perform the following actions:

* Send an authorization request.

* Perform any sign-on actions.

* Return an access token.

The authorization and token endpoints that you'll call to test the workflow require an application ID and secret to complete the sign-on action. The Postman collection that accompanies this flow references the Web application that you created in *Getting Started*, Task 3.

## What you'll do

You will send an authorization request to start the simple login workflow.

* POST request to the authorize endpoint.

* POST request to submit the user's login credentials.

* POST request to get the access token.

If you haven't completed [Task 3: Create an SSO workflow](../../../../getting-started/simple-sso-workflow.html), do that first.

|   | If you choose to use an alternate application, be aware that the variables in the Postman collections point to the Task 3 application's ID (and secret). You must change these values manually either in your Postman environment or in the endpoint's URL or parameters to run the requests using your alternate application. |
