The Identity Providers are checked once per day. Therefore, the login requests should not have any significant effect on the log entries/statistics of an Identity Provider. Also, no actual login is performed because the check cannot authenticate users due to missing username and password for the IdPs. Only Identity Providers are checked but not the Service Providers.

Check Performed on the IdPs

...


The tool uses following status for IdPs:

StatusColorDecription
ErrorRedThe IdP's response contains an HTTP Error or the web page returned does not look like a login page. The most probable causes for this error are HTTP errors (e.g.: 404 error).
WarningOrangeThe IdP most likely does not consume the eduGAIN metadata correctly or it hasn't does not return a web page that looks like a login form. 
A typical case that falls into this category is when an IdP returns a message "No return endpoint available for relying party" or "No metadta found for relying party".
OKGreenThe IdP most likely correctly consumes eduGAIN metadata and returns a valid login page. This is no guarantee that login on this IdP works for all eduGAIN services but if the check is passed for an IdP, this is probable.
DiasableWhiteThe IdP is excluded from checks because it cannot be checked reliably (see limitations below) affected by some problems that prevent them to consume correctly eduGAIN metadata.

The "Last test results" column, when an entity is disabled, shows the reason of the disabling

The eduGAIN Connectivity Check's administrator can disable checks for entities by changing the service database. This is useful because some Identity Providers use login methods that cannot easily/reliably be checked. Therefore such IdPs should be excluded from the checks.
