Follow these steps to test out the connection information effectively: 

1. Connectivity Test: 

• Begin by conducting a basic connectivity test to verify that the target system (e.g., Generic Database Connector) can be reached from the source system (e.g., IdentityBridge). Use tools such as ping or traceroute to check network connectivity and identify any potential issues. 

2. Authentication Test: 

• If authentication is required (e.g., OAuth 2.0, basic authentication), verify that the provided credentials are correct and can successfully authenticate with the target system. Use authentication endpoints or utilities provided by the target system to validate authentication. 

3. Endpoint Test: 

• Test the endpoint URL provided for the target system to ensure that it is accessible and returns the expected response. Use tools such as cURL or Postman to send sample requests to the endpoint and validate the responses received. 

4. Data Exchange Test: 

• Once basic connectivity and authentication tests are successful, perform a data exchange test to validate the ability to retrieve or send data between systems. Use sample data or test records to simulate data exchange scenarios and verify that data is transferred accurately and securely.
