Service Provider Test Environments Recommended
It is recommended that a test environment for the service provider be available to test candidate configurations in our UH identity provider test environment to ensure everything meets expectations before deployment to our production environment. If unable to test candidate configurations in our test environment first, we are capable of deploying candidates directly to our production environment, but change management procedures constrain this and limits how quickly we can test and deploy any necessary changes.
It is also highly recommended that a service provider test environment be generally available beyond the initial service deployment. When the Shibboleth IdP is upgraded as necessary, An SP test environment will provide a means to test against any new integration changes before the new versions are deployed to our production Identity Provider environment.
