# Test your deployment

After configuring your sample deployment, test your work:

1. Log out of any open Advanced Identity Software applications.

2. Browse <https://platform.example.com:9443/>.

   Your browser displays the default route page:

   ![ig default route](_images/ig-default-route.png)

   If a page warns the connection isn't private, the page poses a security risk, or your browser does not trust the PingGateway server certificate, read [Trust the deployment ID certificate](protect-deployment.html#protect-trust-ca) again.

3. Test the flow for an administrator:

   1. Click the Admin access link.

   2. Sign in as `amAdmin`.

      The password in the documentation to set up Advanced Identity Software is `Passw0rd`.

      Your browser redirects to the Platform admin UI page:

      ```
      https://platform.example.com:9443/platform-ui/?realm=root#/dashboard/overview
      ```

   3. Browse around the Platform admin UI, making sure to open the AM admin UI and IDM admin UI.

      The browser address shows a secure connection through `https://platform.example.com:9443/` for all pages.

   4. (*Optional*) Switch to the `alpha` realm and create a new end-user account under Identities > Manage.

   5. Sign out.

      Your browser redirects to the Advanced Identity Software default page.

4. Test the flow for an end user:

   1. Click the End user access link.

   2. Sign in as an end user.

      If you have not yet created an end-user account, follow the Create an account link, and register an end user with the platform.

      In the end, your browser redirects to the end-user page:

      ```
      https://platform.example.com:9443/enduser-ui/?realm=alpha#/dashboard
      ```

   3. Sign out.

      Your browser redirects to the Advanced Identity Software default page.

Your sample deployment now routes traffic through PingGateway to the Advanced Identity Software. If you get the PingGateway server certificate signed by a well-known CA, instead of the private CA, other browsers and systems can connect without additional configuration.
