Installation

pip install pytest-iam

Usage

pytest-iam provides tools to test your application authentication mechanism against a OAuth2/OIDC server:

• It launches a Canaille instance
• It provides a iam_server fixture that comes with several features:
  • the URL of the IAM server to configure your application
  • IAM models (Users, groups, clients, tokens etc.) to prepare your tests and check the side effects. More details on the reference
  • utilities to log-in users and give their consent to your application
  • utilities to generate random users and groups

To run a full authentication process for a client application in your test, you can write something like this:

def test_authentication(iam_server, testapp, client):
    # create a random user on the IAM server
    user = iam_server.random_user()

    # logs the user in give its consent to your application
    iam_server.login(user)
    iam_server.consent(user)

    # simulate an attempt to access a protected page of your app
    response = testapp.get("/protected", status=302)

    # get an authorization code request at the IAM
    res = requests.get(res.location, allow_redirects=False)

    # access to the redirection URI
    res = testclient.get(res.headers["Location"])
    res.mustcontain("Hello World!")
