SP Migration to New Server

[Brett Melling]

We are a Shibboleth SP and are planning a migration to a new server. 

 

The existing server (e.g. server1.ourdomain.com) has worked well for a
number of years by way of a CNAME pointing to it - sp.ourdomain.com - that
is referenced in our metadata, and we are ready to migrate Shibboleth
functionality to new server server2.ourdomain.com which is configured and
believed to be ready from testing of server2.ourdomain.com in isolation. 

 

Does anyone know of a reliable way of testing the Shibboleth functionality
of server2 from a customer perspective before we update the DNS CNAME
sp.ourdomain.com from server1 to server2, given the nature of DNS and how
long it might take for a reversal to propagate again should there be any
issues?

 

We would like to make use of the UK AMF test-idp for this, but are wondering
how to do so while sp.ourdomain.com points at existing server1 

 

Thanks in advance for any advice given, or pointers to similar existing
posts which I've had a look for but not found.
