Configuration of ADFSSyntheticTest

This test reports the availability of the server and its responsiveness to authentication requests by emulating a user connecting to the AD FS server to have a request authenticated.

The default parameters associated with this test are:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• In the HOST text box, specify the HOST for which this test is to be configured.

• In the PORT text box, specify the port at which the target host is listening.

• In the BASE URI text box, specify the URL that connects to the AD FS server.

• To fully emulate an authentication request to the AD FS server, the test needs to connect to the server as an AD FS-federated application and the relying party identifier uniquely identifies an AD FS-federated application. Specify a relying party identifier in the IDENTIFIER text box.

• To emulate the authentication request to the ADFS server the eG agent should be configured with the credentials of a user that the server should authenticate. Specify the credentials of such a user in the USERNAME and PASSWORD text boxes.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of “none” in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
