OIDC Testing Guide
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for manually testing the OIDC implementation using curl commands.
Prerequisites
- A running instance of the authy2 backend
- curl installed
- A test user account
- A registered OIDC client
Setup
Start the Backend
# Development mode
python -m flask run --host=0.0.0.0 --port=5000
# Or using the manage.py script
python manage.py runserver --host=0.0.0.0 --port=5000
Register a Test User (if needed)
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/v1/auth/register \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"email": "test@example.com",
"password": "TestPassword123!",
"password_confirm": "TestPassword123!",
"full_name": "Test User"
}'
Register an OIDC Client
# Register a new OIDC client
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/oidc/register \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"client_name": "Test Client",
"redirect_uris": ["http://localhost:8080/callback"],
"grant_types": ["authorization_code", "refresh_token"],
"response_types": ["code"],
"scope": "openid profile email",
"token_endpoint_auth_method": "client_secret_basic"
}'
Save the client_id and client_secret from the response for later use.
Testing Endpoints
1. Discovery Endpoint
Purpose: Verify OIDC discovery configuration is accessible and correct.
curl -s http://localhost:5000/.well-known/openid-configuration | jq
Expected Response:
{
"issuer": "http://localhost:5000",
"authorization_endpoint": "http://localhost:5000/oidc/authorize",
"token_endpoint": "http://localhost:5000/oidc/token",
"userinfo_endpoint": "http://localhost:5000/oidc/userinfo",
"jwks_uri": "http://localhost:5000/oidc/jwks",
"registration_endpoint": "http://localhost:5000/oidc/register",
"revocation_endpoint": "http://localhost:5000/oidc/revoke",
"introspection_endpoint": "http://localhost:5000/oidc/introspect",
"scopes_supported": ["openid", "profile", "email"],
"response_types_supported": ["code"],
"response_modes_supported": ["query"],
"grant_types_supported": ["authorization_code", "refresh_token"],
"token_endpoint_auth_methods_supported": ["client_secret_basic", "client_secret_post"],
"subject_types_supported": ["public"],
"id_token_signing_alg_values_supported": ["RS256"],
"claims_supported": ["sub", "name", "email", "email_verified"]
}
Verification:
- All endpoints are present and use the correct base URL
- Cache-Control header is set:
curl -I http://localhost:5000/.well-known/openid-configuration
2. JWKS Endpoint
Purpose: Verify JWKS is accessible and contains valid signing keys.
curl -s http://localhost:5000/oidc/jwks | jq
Expected Response:
{
"keys": [
{
"kty": "RSA",
"kid": "...",
"use": "sig",
"alg": "RS256",
"n": "...",
"e": "..."
}
]
}
Verification:
- At least one key is present
- Key has
kty: "RSA",alg: "RS256" - Cache-Control header is set
3. Authorization Code Flow with PKCE
This is the complete OAuth2/OIDC authentication flow.
Step 1: Generate PKCE Parameters
# Generate code verifier (43-128 characters)
CODE_VERIFIER=$(openssl rand -base64 32 | tr -d '=' | tr '/+' '_-' | cut -c1-43)
# Generate code challenge from verifier
CODE_CHALLENGE=$(echo -n "$CODE_VERIFIER" | openssl sha256 -binary | base64 | tr -d '=' | tr '/+' '_-')
# Generate state parameter
STATE=$(openssl rand -hex 16)
# Generate nonce for ID token
NONCE=$(openssl rand -hex 16)
echo "Code Verifier: $CODE_VERIFIER"
echo "Code Challenge: $CODE_CHALLENGE"
echo "State: $STATE"
echo "Nonce: $NONCE"
Step 2: Request Authorization Code
Option A: Browser-based flow (redirect flow)
# Open this URL in a browser
http://localhost:5000/oidc/authorize?\
client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&\
redirect_uri=http://localhost:8080/callback&\
response_type=code&\
scope=openid%20profile%20email&\
state=YOUR_STATE&\
nonce=YOUR_NONCE&\
code_challenge=YOUR_CODE_CHALLENGE&\
code_challenge_method=S256
Option B: POST-based flow (for testing with curl)
curl -v -X POST http://localhost:5000/oidc/authorize \
-d "client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID" \
-d "redirect_uri=http://localhost:8080/callback" \
-d "response_type=code" \
-d "scope=openid profile email" \
-d "state=$STATE" \
-d "nonce=$NONCE" \
-d "code_challenge=$CODE_CHALLENGE" \
-d "code_challenge_method=S256" \
-d "email=test@example.com" \
-d "password=TestPassword123!"
Expected Response: 302 Redirect with code parameter
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: http://localhost:8080/callback?code=AUTHORIZATION_CODE&state=YOUR_STATE
Extract the authorization code:
# From the Location header
AUTH_CODE=$(curl -v -X POST http://localhost:5000/oidc/authorize \
-d "client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID" \
-d "redirect_uri=http://localhost:8080/callback" \
-d "response_type=code" \
-d "scope=openid profile email" \
-d "state=$STATE" \
-d "nonce=$NONCE" \
-d "code_challenge=$CODE_CHALLENGE" \
-d "code_challenge_method=S256" \
-d "email=test@example.com" \
-d "password=TestPassword123!" 2>&1 | grep -i "Location:" | cut -d' ' -f2 | cut -d'?' -f2 | cut -d'=' -f2)
Step 3: Exchange Authorization Code for Tokens
# Using client_id and client_secret
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/oidc/token \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "grant_type=authorization_code" \
-d "code=$AUTH_CODE" \
-d "redirect_uri=http://localhost:8080/callback" \
-d "client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID" \
-d "client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET" \
-d "code_verifier=$CODE_VERIFIER"
Expected Response:
{
"version": "1.0",
"success": true,
"code": 200,
"message": "Tokens issued successfully",
"request_id": "...",
"data": {
"access_token": "eyJ...",
"token_type": "Bearer",
"expires_in": 3600,
"id_token": "eyJ...",
"refresh_token": "..."
}
}
Verification:
access_tokenis a JWT (check at jwt.io)token_typeis "Bearer"expires_inindicates token lifetimeid_tokencontains expected claims (sub, iss, aud, etc.)
4. UserInfo Endpoint
Purpose: Retrieve user information using the access token.
curl -X GET http://localhost:5000/oidc/userinfo \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
Expected Response:
{
"version": "1.0",
"success": true,
"code": 200,
"message": "User info retrieved successfully",
"request_id": "...",
"data": {
"sub": "user-id",
"name": "Test User",
"email": "test@example.com",
"email_verified": true
}
}
Verification:
submatches the user IDemailandemail_verifiedare present if email scope was requestednameis present if profile scope was requested
5. Token Refresh
Purpose: Obtain a new access token using a refresh token.
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/oidc/token \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "grant_type=refresh_token" \
-d "refresh_token=YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN" \
-d "client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID" \
-d "client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
Expected Response:
{
"version": "1.0",
"success": true,
"code": 200,
"message": "Tokens refreshed successfully",
"request_id": "...",
"data": {
"access_token": "eyJ...",
"token_type": "Bearer",
"expires_in": 3600,
"id_token": "eyJ...",
"refresh_token": "..."
}
}
Verification:
- New
access_tokenis returned - New
refresh_tokenis returned (token rotation) - Old refresh token is now invalid
6. Token Revocation
Purpose: Revoke a token to invalidate it.
# Revoke access token
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/oidc/revoke \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
-d "token_type_hint=access_token" \
-d "client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID" \
-d "client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
# Revoke refresh token
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/oidc/revoke \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "token=YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN" \
-d "token_type_hint=refresh_token" \
-d "client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID" \
-d "client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
Expected Response:
{
"version": "1.0",
"success": true,
"code": 200,
"message": "Token revoked successfully",
"request_id": "..."
}
Verification:
- Revoked refresh token cannot be used for refresh
- Revoked access token cannot be used for UserInfo
7. Token Introspection
Purpose: Check if a token is active and get its claims.
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/oidc/introspect \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
-d "client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID" \
-d "client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
Expected Response (active token):
{
"version": "1.0",
"success": true,
"code": 200,
"message": "Token introspection successful",
"request_id": "...",
"data": {
"active": true,

"exp": 1234567890,
"iat": 1234564290,
"scope": "openid profile email",
"token_type": "Bearer"
}
}
Expected Response (invalid/expired token):
{

Error Handling Tests
Invalid Client
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/oidc/token \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "grant_type=authorization_code" \
-d "code=invalid" \
-d "client_id=invalid_client" \
-d "client_secret=invalid_secret"
Invalid Authorization Code
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/oidc/token \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "grant_type=authorization_code" \
-d "code=INVALID_CODE" \
-d "redirect_uri=http://localhost:8080/callback" \
-d "client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID"
Expired Authorization Code
Authorization codes expire after 10 minutes. Wait 10+ minutes and try to use the code again.
Invalid PKCE Verifier
Use an incorrect code_verifier during token exchange:
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/oidc/token \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "grant_type=authorization_code" \
-d "code=YOUR_AUTH_CODE" \
-d "redirect_uri=http://localhost:8080/callback" \
-d "client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID" \
-d "code_verifier=wrong_verifier"
Troubleshooting
Connection Refused
Ensure the backend is running:
ps aux | grep flask
lsof -i :5000
Authentication Failures
- Verify user credentials are correct
- Check that the user exists in the database
- Ensure the client is active and has correct redirect URIs
Token Errors
- Verify access token hasn't expired
- Check that the token was signed by the OIDC provider
- Ensure the audience (client_id) matches
Redirect URI Mismatch
Ensure the redirect_uri used in authorization and token exchange exactly matches a registered redirect URI.
