Task 3: Test The Workflow

The Test the Workflow endpoints perform the following actions:

Send an authorization request.
Perform any sign-on actions.
Call the SAML resume endpoint.

The SAML application uses SAML endpoints to initiate sign-on. The authorization request submits an authnRequest object to the SAML service endpoint. The SAML service validates the request and creates an authentication flow. After the flow completes, the SAML service generates the appropriate tokens and issues a Response message

What you’ll do

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

POST request to the SAML /saml20/idp/sso endpoint.
POST request to submit the user’s login credentials.
POST request to get the access token.

The Postman collection accompanying this workflow includes a pre-request script to create the authnRequest object. If you choose not to use the Postman collection, you must create an authnRequest object manually.
