How to test idp authentication configuration without SP?

Thu Sep 17 17:55:13 EDT 2015

Hi, I am new to Shibboleth. I am trying to configure my IDP (V3.1.2) that I newly installed to Jetty 9.2. I followed the instruction on configuration authentication (https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/IDP30/AuthenticationConfiguration). I decided to go with the simplest LDAP without SSL. So I have modified idp.home/conf/idp.properties to point to my test AD server. 

My question is how to run a quick test to make sure my configuration is correct? I know the normal workflow is to have SP redirect to Idp for logon, but I have not built my SP yet. I just want to quickly verify my authentication configuration. Is there an URL I can access to my IDP to simply display a login page for me to authenticate against ldap?
Thanks, Joey
