- It retrieves the eduGAIN IdPs from eduGAIN Operator Team database via a JSON interface.
For each IdP that it was not manually disabled by the eduGAIN Operations Team or by IdP administrator via "robots.txt", the check verifies the SSL certificate of the IdP, creates a Wayfless URL for each SP involved and retrieves the IdP login page.
It expects to find the HTML form with a username and password field. Therefore, no complete login will happen at the Identity Provider because the check stops at the login page.
The SPs used for the check are "SP Demo" (https://sp-demo.idem.garr.it/shibboleth) from IDEM GARR AAI and the "AAI Viewer Interfederation Test" (https://attribute-viewer.aai.switch.ch/interfederation-test/shibboleth) from SWITCHaai. These SPs might change in the future if needed.
The SAML authentication request is not signed. Therefore, authentication request for any eduGAIN SP could be created because the SP's private key is not needed.- In the end, the check is run again for those IdPs that have not been checked due to a problem met with the headless webdriver and signals if there are problems on the log file.
