You can go to this URL to directly access the development environment as if you were logging in to a CommIT partner. You will need to change the commit-partner-entityID to match a known partner's entityID. That entityID can be acquired from InCommon, or from the partner, or from one of the technical team members. The complete set is not published here as a modicum of selective disclosure; specific services will be enumerated upon request.
The certificate Certificate warnings are expected because you're accessing a back door that is not publicly enumerated as an access location. Don't worry about them unless they also appear using one of the other access methods. If they do, then please panic and notify the technical team so we can begin to panic too.
