You need to do a full SAML authentication flow for the IdP to work correctly. 

In other words accessing /idp/login.jsp will not get you anywhere with positive results, that is not how it is supposed to work with this software. 

You need to register a Service Provider (SP) with your IdP to verify things work the way they should. 

Feel free to use testshib.org [1] for your testing purposes for thing like this. Then you can access the testshib SP and use your IdP to authenticate.
