# Microsoft Entra ID Emulator
Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) v2.0 OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect emulation with authorization code flow, PKCE, client credentials, RS256 ID tokens, OIDC discovery, and a Microsoft Graph `/v1.0/me` 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'
```
## Pointing Your App at the Emulator
### Environment Variable
```bash
MICROSOFT_EMULATOR_URL=http://localhost:4005
```
### OAuth URL Mapping
| Real Microsoft URL | Emulator URL |
|--------------------|-------------|
| `https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant}/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration` | `$MICROSOFT_EMULATOR_URL/{tenant}/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration` |
| `https://login.microsoftonline.com/.well-known/openid-configuration` | `$MICROSOFT_EMULATOR_URL/.well-known/openid-configuration` |
| `https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize` | `$MICROSOFT_EMULATOR_URL/oauth2/v2.0/authorize` |
| `https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/token` | `$MICROSOFT_EMULATOR_URL/oauth2/v2.0/token` |
| `https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/discovery/v2.0/keys` | `$MICROSOFT_EMULATOR_URL/discovery/v2.0/keys` |
| `https://graph.microsoft.com/oidc/userinfo` | `$MICROSOFT_EMULATOR_URL/oidc/userinfo` |
| `https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me` | `$MICROSOFT_EMULATOR_URL/v1.0/me` |
### Auth.js / NextAuth.js
```typescript
import MicrosoftEntraId from '@auth/core/providers/microsoft-entra-id'
MicrosoftEntraId({
clientId: process.env.MICROSOFT_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: process.env.MICROSOFT_CLIENT_SECRET,
authorization: {
url: `${process.env.MICROSOFT_EMULATOR_URL}/oauth2/v2.0/authorize`,
params: { scope: 'openid email profile User.Read' },
},
token: {
url: `${process.env.MICROSOFT_EMULATOR_URL}/oauth2/v2.0/token`,
},
userinfo: {
url: `${process.env.MICROSOFT_EMULATOR_URL}/oidc/userinfo`,
},
issuer: process.env.MICROSOFT_EMULATOR_URL,
})
```
### Passport.js
```typescript
import { OIDCStrategy } from 'passport-azure-ad'
const MICROSOFT_URL = process.env.MICROSOFT_EMULATOR_URL ?? 'https://login.microsoftonline.com'
new OIDCStrategy({
identityMetadata: `${MICROSOFT_URL}/.well-known/openid-configuration`,
clientID: process.env.MICROSOFT_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: process.env.MICROSOFT_CLIENT_SECRET,
redirectUrl: 'http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/microsoft-entra-id',
responseType: 'code',
responseMode: 'query',
scope: ['openid', 'email', 'profile'],
}, verifyCallback)
```
### MSAL.js
```typescript
import { ConfidentialClientApplication } from '@azure/msal-node'
const msalConfig = {
auth: {
clientId: process.env.MICROSOFT_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: process.env.MICROSOFT_CLIENT_SECRET,
authority: process.env.MICROSOFT_EMULATOR_URL,
knownAuthorities: [process.env.MICROSOFT_EMULATOR_URL],
},
}
const cca = new ConfidentialClientApplication(msalConfig)
```
## 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"],
"token_endpoint_auth_methods_supported": ["client_secret_post", "client_secret_basic"]
}
```
### JWKS
```bash
curl http://localhost:4005/discovery/v2.0/keys
```
Returns an RSA public key (`kid`: `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&\
nonce=random-nonce"
```
Query parameters:
| Param | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `client_id` | OAuth client ID |
| `redirect_uri` | Callback URL |
| `scope` | Space-separated scopes (`openid email profile User.Read`) |
| `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` | `plain` or `S256` (optional) |
### 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>&\
client_id=example-client-id&\
client_secret=example-client-secret&\
redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/microsoft-entra-id&\
grant_type=authorization_code"
```
Returns:
```json
{
"access_token": "microsoft_...",
"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&\
client_secret=example-client-secret&\
grant_type=refresh_token"
```
Returns a new `access_token`, rotated `refresh_token`, and new `id_token`. The presenting `client_id` and `client_secret` must belong to the client that received the refresh token. Legacy refresh records without a stored client binding remain supported.
### User Info
```bash
curl http://localhost:4005/oidc/userinfo \
-H "Authorization: Bearer microsoft_..."
```
Returns:
```json
{
"sub": "<oid>",
"email": "testuser@outlook.com",
"name": "Test User",
"given_name": "Test",
"family_name": "User",
"preferred_username": "testuser@outlook.com"
}
```
### Microsoft Graph /me
```bash
curl http://localhost:4005/v1.0/me \
-H "Authorization: Bearer microsoft_..."
```
Returns an OData-style response:
```json
{
"@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#users/$entity",
"displayName": "Test User",
"mail": "testuser@outlook.com",
"userPrincipalName": "testuser@outlook.com",
"id": "<oid>"
}
```
### Logout
```bash
curl "http://localhost:4005/oauth2/v2.0/logout?post_logout_redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000"
```
Redirects to the `post_logout_redirect_uri` if provided and valid.
### Token Revocation
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:4005/oauth2/v2.0/revoke \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "token=microsoft_..."
```
Returns `200 OK`. The token is removed from the emulator's token map.
## 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'],
})
```
## Custom emulators alongside built-ins
Use `npx emulate init --custom inventory` to scaffold a third-party API emulator and test. Register it in `emulate.config.ts` with `defineConfig` from `emulate`, alongside built-in entries such as `{ emulator: "microsoft" }`. Run `npx emulate start --watch` to reload imports and inspect custom state at the printed `/_emulate` URL. Successful reloads reset the run to seed. Existing flat seed configs still work; `--config` selects an explicit file. For authoring and testing third-party API emulators, see https://emulate.dev/docs/custom-emulators.
