2022-05-11: The Shibboleth Identity Provider (IdP) test environment (idp-test.its.hawaii.edu) has been upgraded from version 3.2 to 4.2.

  • This is a major upgrade, built from the ground up with essentially new infrastructure.
  • The primary goal for this upgrade was backwards compatibility with the previous 3.2 deployment.
  • If you use our IdP for SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) services, we highly encourage you to test against the upgraded IdP test environment if feasible.


(warning) NOTE: our previously scheduled upgrade our production environment on Sunday morning, 2022-06-12 has been deferred (warning)

  • Our production environment will be upgraded at a time to be determined


The IP address for idp-test.its.hawaii.edu changed as part of the upgrade.

If you encounter an error along the lines of being unable to reach the page or find the idp-test host, your system may have the old IP address cached.
If this is the case, then clearing or flushing the affected host's DNS cache should resolve this.

We expect to increase the cadence of these updates in the future.
