Question

can I do test shibboleth IdP and SP on localhost environment?

I have just one PC(Win7)

Answer 1

Yes you sure can.

Download and install SP and idP in that machine, configure metadata for both to communicate to localhost or for better ease use two domains for SP and idP,

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc here add two domains localhost-sp and localhost-idp to the hosts file.

So you have now two differet domains for sp and idp.
