Environments: sandbox & production

To support a safe and structured integration journey, OXU provides two separate environments for Identity Provider (IDP) integration: Sandbox and Production.

Each environment serves a distinct purpose in your integration lifecycle.

Sandbox environment (for integration & testing)

The sandbox environment is designed for development, integration, and testing.

This is where partners should start.

In the sandbox environment, you can:

• Create and configure an integration application

• Test Login with OXU flows end-to-end

• Simulate user authentication without impacting real users

• Safely experiment with configuration changes

Key characteristics:

• Isolated from production systems

• Uses test data and test users

• No impact on live customers or business operations

• Intended for trial, validation, and troubleshooting

We strongly recommend completing all integration and testing in the sandbox environment before moving to production.

Production environment (for live usage)

The production environment is used for live, real-world integration after your setup has been fully validated in sandbox.

You should use production when:

In the production environment:

Important notes:

This separation ensures a safe, predictable, and enterprise-ready integration experience for all OXU partners.
