End-to-end testing Single Sign On (SSO) with ForgeRock
Schedule a DemoSingle Sign-on (SSO) allows a user to authenticate in one place (the identity provider) across multiple third-party applications. SSO is an essential element of managing multiple applications in a secure way, and is often a hard requirement in large enterprise software contracts.
SSO with ForgeRock can be a pain to test end-to-end for a variety of reasons:
- Testing SSO end-to-end with ForgeRock introduces a dependency on the ForgeRock's authentication experience. If the service updates the authentication UI, you may need to update your tests.
- Testing ForgeRock SSO involves managing multiple users and multiple sets of credentials (one for the ForgeRock admin and one for the test user), which can be a pain to maintain.
- The entire SSO flow encompasses many different experiences, and is hard to test. You need to verify that granting access to a third-party app enables the user to login, but also that removing access to the third-party app blocks the user from logging in.
What's the easiest way to test SSO with ForgeRock?
walrus.ai enables engineers to test SSO using ForgeRock without any of the pain:
- When ForgeRock's UI changes, walrus.ai handles any updates needed on their end, so you never need to refactor your tests based on any third-party dependency outside of your control.
- Writing the full end-to-end test takes minutes, because it's just written in plain English.
- walrus.ai can handle any test setup or teardown within the test itself, simply add those steps to the test instructions.
