How to Setup a Mock SAML Tenant

We recommend testing your Descope SSO configurations before deploying, but you may not have an IdP already set up. In this case, you can use mocksaml.com to create a dummy IdP and test your Descope SSO login with just a few simple steps.

Configure Descope Project

After making sure you have SSO enabled as an authentication method in the Descope console, you will need to configure your tenants. After choosing the specific tenant and navigating to the Authentication Methods tab on the left, you can enable SAML under SSO. Add example.com to the SSO domains.

Set Up SSO SAML Domain

Further down the page, under SSO Configuration, select Retrieve the connection details dynamically using a metadata URL and set metadata URL for IdP to https://mocksaml.com/api/saml/metadata.

Add the SSO Metadata URL

Testing

You can now test your SSO Login with any mock example.com email address.
