2.2.2 Metadata Exchange (Scott Cantor - cantor.2@osu.edu)

Test the ability of an implementation to publish and consume metadata documents, and maintain the information in real time.

.bq Publication

Preconditions
  • An http/https entityID defined that is suitable for dereferencing
  • Appropriate configuration of that entityID is completed
  • Multiple details of configuration are available to tester (location of a profile endpoint, a key descriptor, etc.)

...

  • Any pre-publishing step required is completed
Test Sequence

1. Access published metadata

The entityID is dereferenced to obtain the metadata document.

Tester CONFIRM: The metadata is available, and correctly reflects the entityID accessed, and is returned with the correct MIME type (application/xml+samlmetadata). The configuration details expected are found in the metadata.

2. Alter metadata and republish

Alter the configuration (changing an endpoint, a key descriptor, etc.) and republish, then repeat the first test.

Tester CONFIRM: As in (1), but also that the implementation did not require a restart or disruption of service.

Responses to Authentication Failure

...

To complete this Test Case, the IdP under test must receive an authentication request for a User it cannot or will not authenticate. The cause of this authentication failure is not relevant but is expected to be an event such as:

  • The user chooses to cancel the authentication process.
  • The user identity does not exist or the number of failed login attempts has been exceeded.
  • The user forgets his/her password and must wait for an email containing the password.

Preconditions
  • Metadata exchanged and loaded
  • Encryption disabled
  • User Identities Not Federated
