Well, the parts that relied out outside services hooked up via SSO were not demoed, but majority of it worked fine because demo server was misconfigured to not actually rely on the external services. It is pretty funny.
I am a bit paranoid about disclosing details, but basically our SAML IDP was down, so the sales person couldn't log in at all. I was messing with the demo server to convince myself that it is 100% IDPs fault and we can't do anything about it, and discovered to my surprise that the form-based authentication was not disabled on it (normally our servers are in one mode or the other, but not both, even though this is an artificial separation). So I gave them the direct link to the form based entry point and most of the demo could be done.
We had a demo at the exact same time. (Internal weekly product demo, not that critical).
We did it on local host, the only one reliable 100% of the time.
