Once your SP is properly registered with the IdP, you can test your SP's configuration by visiting either the Shibboleth handler's session initiation location (https://myhost/Shibboleth.sso/DS if using the standard configuration generated by gen-shib2.sh, or https://myhost/Shibboleth.sso/Login if using the new <SSO> element available in Shibboleth 2.4 or laterLogin by default), or a resource protected in your Apache configuration or Shibboleth request map, e.g. https://myhost/secure. After you have authenticated successfully, you can then visit https://myhost/Shibboleth.sso/Session to display the Shibboleth session information, including a list of the available attributes. To include the attribute values in this display, edit shibboleth2.xml, and set the handler's showAttributeValues property to "true":

    <!-- Session diagnostic service. -->
    <!-- Set showAttributeValues to "true" for testing only! -->
    <Handler type="Session" Location="/Session" showAttributeValues="true"/>

Once you have confirmed that your SP is getting the proper set of attributes, we recommend that you set the handler's showAttributeValues property back to "false":

    <!-- Session diagnostic service. -->
    <Handler type="Session" Location="/Session" showAttributeValues="false <Handler type="Session" Location="/Session" showAttributeValues="true"/>
