Test the Omnissa Access Authentication

After configuring Omnissa Access as the claims provider and AD FS as the service provider, you can test the SP-initiated authentication flow with an AD FS-federated application. A successful configuration allows you to use Omnissa Access to authenticate access to an AD FS-federated application.

Use the following procedure to test the SP-initiated authentication flow with an AD FS-federated application. For more information about authentication flows, see IdP-initiated and SP-Initiated Authentication Flows.

Prerequisites

Perform the procedures described in the following topics:

Procedure

  1. Open a private browsing session (a good practice when testing federated authentication) on your computer browser.

  2. Navigate to the login portal for an AD FS-federated application (for example, https://login.microsoftonline.com for Office 365).

  3. Enter the user name of a user residing in the AD FS-federated domain.

    Verify that the application portal redirects you to the AD FS Home Realm Discovery page, which presents Omnissa Access as an authentication option.

    Note: The Omnissa Access authentication option uses the Display Name that you specified during the Claims Provider configuration. For more information, see Add Omnissa Access as a Claims Provider for AD FS.

  4. Select the option to authenticate with Omnissa Access.

    Verify that AD FS redirects you to the Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub login page.
