Filtering unused External SP Connectors

Hi,

 

Trough the years developers asked to on-board various SP connectors. However they never tell something if a certain connector isn't used anymore. Is there a quick or easy way to filter what connectors don't get used?

 

Thanks!

    Hello Jens,

     

    The first go-to would be to check if the external SP connector is still bound to a local IdP. Since you're doing the authentication locally, if the SP isn't getting a token from your IdP then it's probably not being used.

     

    You could check to see which IdP's are in use from the Access Profiles page, under SSO/ Auth Domains. Unfortunately I think you'd need to check each access profile individually to see which IdP is in use, as you can't check this from the federation page.

     

    Beyond that I can't really think of any way to check if external SP connectors are still being used other than just looking at the traffic they're getting.

     

    Best of luck,

     

    Austin

      I see, so it's just like I feared. There was this small shard of hope that I was overlooking this magical feature, but alas. Thanks for info Austin!
