Emulated Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect for local development and testing. Use when the user needs to test Microsoft sign-in locally, emulate Entra ID OIDC discovery, handle Microsoft token exchange, configure Azure AD OAuth clients, work with Microsoft Graph /me, or test PKCE/client credentials flows without hitting real Microsoft APIs. Triggers include "Microsoft OAuth", "Entra ID", "Azure AD", "emulate Microsoft", "mock Microsoft login", "test Microsoft sign-in", "Microsoft OIDC", "local Microsoft auth", or any task requiring a local Microsoft OAuth/OIDC provider.

endpoint.

Start

bash
# Microsoft only
npx emulate --service microsoft

# Default port (when run alone)
# http://localhost:4000
Or programmatically:
typescript
import { createEmulator } from 'emulate'

const microsoft = await createEmulator({ service: 'microsoft', port: 4005 })
// microsoft.url === 'http://localhost:4005'

Seed Config

yaml
microsoft:
  users:
    - email: testuser@outlook.com
      name: Test User
      given_name: Test
      family_name: User
      tenant_id: 9188040d-6c67-4c5b-b112-36a304b66dad
  oauth_clients:
    - client_id: example-client-id
      client_secret: example-client-secret
      name: My Microsoft App
      redirect_uris:
        - http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/microsoft-entra-id
      tenant_id: 9188040d-6c67-4c5b-b112-36a304b66dad
When no OAuth clients are configured, the emulator accepts any
client_id
. With clients configured, strict validation is enforced for
client_id
,
client_secret
, and
redirect_uri
.

API Endpoints

OIDC Discovery

bash
# Default tenant
curl http://localhost:4005/.well-known/openid-configuration

# Tenant-scoped (common, organizations, consumers, or specific tenant ID)
curl http://localhost:4005/common/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration
Returns the standard OIDC discovery document:
json
{
  "issuer": "http://localhost:4005/{tenant}/v2.0",
  "authorization_endpoint": "http://localhost:4005/oauth2/v2.0/authorize",
  "token_endpoint": "http://localhost:4005/oauth2/v2.0/token",
  "userinfo_endpoint": "http://localhost:4005/oidc/userinfo",
  "end_session_endpoint": "http://localhost:4005/oauth2/v2.0/logout",
  "jwks_uri": "http://localhost:4005/discovery/v2.0/keys",
  "response_types_supported": ["code"],
  "subject_types_supported": ["pairwise"],
  "id_token_signing_alg_values_supported": ["RS256"],
  "scopes_supported": ["openid", "email", "profile", "User.Read", "offline_access"],

emulate-microsoft-1
) for verifying
id_token
signatures.

Authorization

bash
# Browser flow: redirects to a user picker page
curl -v "http://localhost:4005/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?\
client_id=example-client-id&\
redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/microsoft-entra-id&\
scope=openid+email+profile&\
response_type=code&\
state=random-state&\

state
Opaque state for CSRF protection
nonce
Nonce for ID token (optional)
response_mode
query
(default) or
form_post
code_challenge
PKCE challenge (optional)
code_challenge_method

Token Exchange

bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:4005/oauth2/v2.0/token \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -d "code=<authorization_code>&\

  "refresh_token": "r_microsoft_...",
  "id_token": "<jwt>",
  "token_type": "Bearer",
  "expires_in": 3600,
  "scope": "openid email profile"
}
The
id_token
is an RS256 JWT containing
sub
,
oid
,
tid
(tenant ID),
email
,
name
,
preferred_username
,
ver
("2.0"), and optional
nonce
.
For PKCE, include
code_verifier
in the token request.
Supports
Authorization: Basic
header with base64-encoded
client_id:client_secret
as an alternative to body parameters.

Client Credentials

bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:4005/oauth2/v2.0/token \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -d "client_id=example-client-id&\
client_secret=example-client-secret&\
grant_type=client_credentials&\
scope=https://graph.microsoft.com/.default"
Returns an
access_token
only (no
refresh_token
or
id_token
).

Refresh Token

bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:4005/oauth2/v2.0/token \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -d "refresh_token=r_microsoft_...&\
client_id=example-client-id&\
grant_type=refresh_token"
Returns a new
access_token
, rotated
refresh_token
, and new
id_token
.

User Info

bash
curl http://localhost:4005/oidc/userinfo \

json
{
  "sub": "<oid>",
  "email": "testuser@outlook.com",
  "name": "Test User",
  "given_name": "Test",
  "family_name": "User",
  "preferred_username": "testuser@outlook.com"
}

Microsoft Graph /me

Common Patterns

Full Authorization Code Flow

bash
MICROSOFT_URL="http://localhost:4005"
CLIENT_ID="example-client-id"
CLIENT_SECRET="example-client-secret"
REDIRECT_URI="http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/microsoft-entra-id"

# 1. Open in browser (user picks a seeded account)
#    $MICROSOFT_URL/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?client_id=$CLIENT_ID&redirect_uri=$REDIRECT_URI&scope=openid+email+profile&response_type=code&state=abc

# 2. After user selection, emulator redirects to:
#    $REDIRECT_URI?code=<code>&state=abc

# 3. Exchange code for tokens
curl -X POST $MICROSOFT_URL/oauth2/v2.0/token \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -d "code=<code>&client_id=$CLIENT_ID&client_secret=$CLIENT_SECRET&redirect_uri=$REDIRECT_URI&grant_type=authorization_code"

# 4. Fetch user info with the access_token
curl $MICROSOFT_URL/oidc/userinfo \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>"

PKCE Flow

bash
CODE_VERIFIER=$(openssl rand -base64 32 | tr -d '=+/' | cut -c1-43)
CODE_CHALLENGE=$(echo -n $CODE_VERIFIER | openssl dgst -sha256 -binary | base64 | tr -d '=' | tr '+/' '-_')

# 1. Authorize with challenge
# $MICROSOFT_URL/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?...&code_challenge=$CODE_CHALLENGE&code_challenge_method=S256

# 2. Token exchange with verifier
curl -X POST $MICROSOFT_URL/oauth2/v2.0/token \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -d "code=<code>&client_id=$CLIENT_ID&client_secret=$CLIENT_SECRET&redirect_uri=$REDIRECT_URI&grant_type=authorization_code&code_verifier=$CODE_VERIFIER"

OIDC Discovery-Based Setup

Libraries that support OIDC discovery can auto-configure from the discovery document:
typescript
import { Issuer } from 'openid-client'

const microsoftIssuer = await Issuer.discover(
  process.env.MICROSOFT_EMULATOR_URL ?? 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/v2.0'
)

const client = new microsoftIssuer.Client({
  client_id: process.env.MICROSOFT_CLIENT_ID,
  client_secret: process.env.MICROSOFT_CLIENT_SECRET,
  redirect_uris: ['http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/microsoft-entra-id'],
})
