oauth2-mock-server

npm package Node.js version

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 programmatically run while performing automated tests.

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

Development prerequisites

How to use

Installation

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

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

Quickstart

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

import { OAuth2Server } from 'oauth2-mock-server';
// ...or in CommonJS style:
// 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.generate('RS256');

// 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 keys can be added to the keystore.

// Add an existing JWK key to the keystore
await server.issuer.keys.add({
  kid: 'some-key',
  alg: 'RS256',
  kty: 'RSA',
  // ...
});

JSON Web Tokens (JWT) can be built programmatically:

import axios from 'axios';

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

// Call a remote API with the token
axios
  .get('https://server.example.com/api/endpoint', {
    headers: {
      authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
    },
  })
  .then((response) => {
    /* ... */
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    /* ... */
  });

Supported grant types

  • No authentication
  • Client Credentials grant
  • Resource Owner Password Credentials grant
  • Authorization Code grant, with Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE) support
  • Refresh token grant

Supported JWK formats

Algorithm kty alg
RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 RSA RS256, RS384, RS512
RSASSA-PSS RSA PS256, PS384, PS512
ECDSA EC ES256, ES384, ES512
EdDSA OKP Ed25519

Customization hooks

It also provides a convenient way, through event emitters, to programmatically customize the server processing. This is particularly useful when expecting the OIDC service to behave in a specific way on one single test.

beforeTokenSigning

Typed signature: (token: MutableToken, req: TokenRequestIncomingMessage) => void

// Modify the expiration time on next produced token
service.once('beforeTokenSigning', (token, req) => {
  const timestamp = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
  token.payload.exp = timestamp + 400;
});
const basicAuth = require('basic-auth');

// Add the client ID to a token
service.once('beforeTokenSigning', (token, req) => {
  const credentials = basicAuth(req);
  const clientId = credentials ? credentials.name : req.body.client_id;
  token.payload.client_id = clientId;
});

beforeResponse

Typed signature: (tokenEndpointResponse: MutableResponse, req: TokenRequestIncomingMessage) => void

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

beforeUserinfo

Typed signature: (userInfoResponse: MutableResponse, req: IncomingMessage) => void

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

beforeRevoke

Typed signature: (revokeResponse: StatusCodeMutableResponse, req: IncomingMessage) => void

// Simulates a custom token revocation result code
service.once('beforeRevoke', (revokeResponse, req) => {
  revokeResponse.statusCode = 418;
});

beforeAuthorizeRedirect

Typed signature: (authorizeRedirectUri: MutableRedirectUri, req: IncomingMessage) => void

// Modify the uri and query parameters
// before the authorization redirect
service.once('beforeAuthorizeRedirect', (authorizeRedirectUri, req) => {
  authorizeRedirectUri.url.searchParams.set('foo', 'bar');
});

beforePostLogoutRedirect

Typed signature: (postLogoutRedirectUri: MutableRedirectUri, req: IncomingMessage) => void

// Modify the uri and query parameters
// before the post_logout_redirect_uri redirect
service.once('beforePostLogoutRedirect', (postLogoutRedirectUri, req) => {
  postLogoutRedirectUri.url.searchParams.set('foo', 'bar');
});

beforeIntrospect

Typed signature: (introspectResponse: MutableResponse, req: IncomingMessage) => void

// Simulate a custom token introspection response body
service.once('beforeIntrospect', (introspectResponse, req) => {
  introspectResponse.body = {
    active: true,
    scope: 'read write email',
    client_id: '<client_id>',
    username: 'dummy',
    exp: 1643712575,
  };
});

HTTPS support

It also provides basic HTTPS support, an optional cert and key can be supplied to start the server with SSL/TLS using the in-built NodeJS HTTPS module.

We recommend using a package to create a locally trusted certificate, like mkcert.

let server = new OAuth2Server(
  'test-assets/mock-auth/key.pem',
  'test-assets/mock-auth/cert.pem'
);

NOTE: Enabling HTTPS will also update the issuer URL to reflect the current protocol.

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.

GET /authorize

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

GET /userinfo

Provides extra userinfo claims.

POST /revoke

Simulates a token revocation. This endpoint should always return 200 as stated by RFC 7009.

GET /endsession

Simulates the end session endpoint. It will automatically redirect to the post_logout_redirect_uri sent as parameter.

POST /introspect

Simulates the token introspection endpoint.

Command-Line Interface

The server can be run from the command line.
