Hello Guys

Sorry for silly questions, we are trying to install idp2.1.2, we are getting following error message when we are try to test idp.

we are getting the error when we browse /idp/profile/Shibboleth/SSO

on the browser it shows the following error message instead of login page

Error Message: Error decoding authentication request message

in idp-process.log we are seeing fallowing error message, any advise is much appreciated.

Yep, that error too means exactly what it says. It's trying to decode
an authentication request. If you point your browser at the URL it's
going to give you that error because you aren't sending any
authentication request.

Where does it say that browsing to this URL is a way to test the IdP?

You use a service provider. There isn't any other way to test it.
