Mock OAuth server for testing

I'd like to know if it is possible to simulate the oAuth(1,2) authentication flow. I'd like to test without the need to connect to the provider itself. It should be possible as it is just some communication exchange. I'm not looking for something like this where they still communicate with remote server. I'd like to be completely offline, when testing.

Maybe I can run my own oAuth server. I should be using Google oAuth services so the server should behave same like they do. Does google provide some code for their oAuth server, or is it possible to create some fake server. Note the test should be more integration test. I would like to command the server to return some predefined responses. Switching to live oAuth providers will be just changing the remote URL.

Maybe just some http server is ok, I just need to care about the proper format of communicated messages.

Please see steps below to mock OAuth2 token to be used for faster local development using SOAPUI.

Steps:

  1. Create a REST soapUI project, create a POST resource for URL "http://localhost:9045/oauth/token".

  2. Create a Mock Service for above resource.

  3. Create a Mock response as shown below, you can add your own parameters and values depending on your requirements.

    { "access_token":"MockOauth2TokenForLocaldevelopmentnTQ0NjJkZmQ5OTM2NDE1ZTZjNGZmZjI3", "token_type":"bearer", "expires_in":35999, "scope":"read write", "jti":"4d540b94-1854-45fa-b1d6-c2039d94b681" }

  4. Start the mock service.

  5. Test using your local REST POST request.

Take a look at Client Side REST Tests section of Spring Reference docs. With this support you can easily fake the server and record desired behaviour into MockRestServiceServer.

Here are some examples I created.
