oauth2-mock-server

OAuth 2 mock server. Intended to be used for development or testing purposes.

When developing an application that exposes or consumes APIs that are secured with an OAuth 2 authorization scheme, a mechanism for issuing access tokens is needed. Frequently, a developer needs to create custom code that fakes the creation of tokens for testing purposes, and these tokens cannot be properly verified, since there is no actual entity issuing those tokens.

The purpose of this package is to provide an easily configurable OAuth 2 server, that can be set up and teared down at will, and can be programatically run while performing automated tests.

Warning: This tool is not intended to be used as an actual OAuth 2 server. It lacks many features that would be required in a proper implementation.

Development prerequisites

• Node.js 8.0+

How to use

Add it to your Node.js project as a development dependency:

npm install --save-dev oauth2-mock-server

Here is an example for creating and running a server instance with a single random RSA key:

const OAuth2Server = require('oauth2-mock-server');

let server = new OAuth2Server();

// Generate a new RSA key and add it to the keystore
await server.issuer.keys.generateRSA();

// Start the server
await server.start(8080, 'localhost');
console.log('Issuer URL:', server.issuer.url); // -> http://localhost:8080

// Do some work with the server
// ...

// Stop the server
await server.stop();

Any number of existing JSON-formatted or PEM-encoded keys can be added to the keystore:

// Add an existing JWK key to the keystore
await server.issuer.keys.add({
    kid: 'some-key',
    kty: 'RSA',
    // ...
});

// Add an existing PEM-encoded key to the keystore
const fs = require('fs');

let pemKey = fs.readFileSync('some-key.pem');
await server.issuer.keys.addPEM(pemKey, 'some-key');

JSON Web Tokens (JWT) can be built programatically:

const request = require('request');

// Build a new token
let token = server.issuer.buildToken(true);

// Call a remote API with the token
request.get(
    'https://server.example.com/api/endpoint',
    { auth: { bearer: token } },
    function callback(err, res, body) { /* ... */ }
);

It also provides a convenient way, through event emitters, to programatically customize:

• The JWT access token
• The token endpoint response body and status
• The userinfo endpoint response body and status

This is particularly useful when expecting the oidc service to behave in a specific way on one single test.

//Force the oidc service to provide an invalid_grant response on next call to the token endpoint
service.once('beforeResponse', (tokenEndpointResponse) => {
  tokenEndpointResponse.body = {
    error: 'invalid_grant'
  };
  tokenEndpointResponse.statusCode = 400;
});

//Force the oidc service to provide an error on next call to userinfo endpoint
service.once('beforeUserinfo', (userInfoResponse) => {
  userInfoResponse.body = {
    error: 'invalid_token',
    error_message: 'token is expired',
  };
  userInfoResponse.statusCode = 401;
});

//Modify the expiration time on next token produced
service.issuer.once('beforeSigning', (token) => {
  const timestamp = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
  token.payload.exp = timestamp + 400;
});

Supported endpoints

GET /.well-known/openid-configuration

Returns the OpenID Provider Configuration Information for the server.

GET /jwks

Returns the JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) of all the keys configured in the server.

POST /token

Issues access tokens. Currently, this endpoint is limited to:

• No authentication
• Client Credentials grant
• Resource Owner Password Credentials grant
• Authorization code grant
• Refresh token grant

GET /authorize

It simulates the user authentication. It will automatically redirect to the callback endpoint sent as parameter. It currently supports only 'code' response_type.

GET /userinfo

It provides extra userinfo claims.

Command-Line Interface

The server can be run from the command line. Run oauth2-mock-server --help for details on its utilization.
