If a University of Richmond student accidentally navigates to 'idp.richmond.edu' or 'idp.richmond.edu/idp' when trying to access a university service, what would they see? Explain why they might have been redirected there, and clarify if they can log in directly from these pages or if they should return to the service they were trying to access.
Navigate to 'idp.richmond.edu'. Observe the content of the 404 error page. Navigate to 'https://idp.richmond.edu/idp' as suggested by the 404 page. Examine the content of the 'No services are available' page. Synthesize information from both pages to explain what a user would see, why they might be redirected, and whether direct login is possible.
State that navigating to 'idp.richmond.edu' results in a 404 'Not Found' error. State that navigating to 'idp.richmond.edu/idp' results in a 'No services are available' message. Explain that users are typically redirected to this domain (the Shibboleth Identity Provider) from another University of Richmond service for authentication purposes. Confirm that users cannot directly log in or access services by navigating directly to 'idp.richmond.edu' or 'idp.richmond.edu/idp'. Advise that users should return to the University service they were originally trying to access to complete their login.
