</span>Two thoughts come to mind:<br>
<br>
1) Assuming you belong to a federation (and assuming the federation<br>
accepts test SP metadata), just have them register their SP metadata.<br>
(an obvious solution, I know :)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Tom:</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks. We (Bucknell University) belong to the InCommon Federation. I did not know that we could include test SP metadata in the InCommon Federation metadata. As an aside, is the addition of test metadata why some members' entityId (for example, PSU) is of the form <span style="font-size:12.6719999313355px;background-color:rgb(252,253,253)"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">urn:mace:incommon:<a href="http://psu.edu">psu.edu</a></font></span><span style="font-family:Courier,'Courier New',Prestige,monospace;font-size:12.6719999313355px;background-color:rgb(252,253,253)">, </span><span style="font-size:12.6719999313355px;background-color:rgb(252,253,253)"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">while ours is of the form <a href="https://shib.bucknell.edu/idp/shibboleth">https://shib.bucknell.edu/idp/shibboleth</a> ?</font></span></div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
2) Use REEP <a href="https://reep.refeds.org/" target="_blank">https://reep.refeds.org/</a> <br></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">If we already belong to InCommon, would it be better to use REEP for test metadata?</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I might just use Scott's suggestion and just modify the developers' workstations' hosts file.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Thanks for your suggestions.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Mike</div></div>
