Test it Out


1. Testing IdP-initiated SSO: Open up a private/incognito window in your browser and go to the Centrify login portal, login with your Centrify credentials. If SSO was successful, you'll arrive at the Valimail home page for your account.


2. Testing SP-initiated SSO: Open up a private/incognito window in your browser and go to https://app.valimail.com and enter your Centrify username (which is usually an email address). The password field will become disabled and you can click Log In with SSO. You will then be taken to the Centrify login screen and the IdP-initiated login flow. If SSO was successful, you'll arrive at the Valimail home page for your account.
