I am trying to implement single sign-on using SAML 2 &nbsp;with a connection TO my website.<br />
<br />
That is, when a user logs into their company website (acome.com for example), then will click a link to automatically log into our site.<br />
<br />
Without troubling one of my clients as a guinea pig, how can I test the integration to my site? &nbsp; <br />
<br />
I was thinking about getting a wordPress site with a SAML plug-in to try it out, but I have never done that either.<br />
<br />
Any information on testing SAML or using wordpress greatly appreciated.<br />
