Local Development with the OIDC Toolkit​

The new Local Development Guide enables you to build and test OIDC SSO implementations entirely on your machine before connecting to QA or production environments. The OIDC Toolkit provides a complete local Identity Provider that mirrors Candescent's OIDC implementation.

Key Capabilities:

• Simulate complete OIDC authorization code flows locally
• Generate test credentials (client_id and client_secret) automatically
• Download metadata and JWK files compatible with Candescent's format
• Run automated E2E tests to validate your integration
• Debug and iterate without external environment dependencies

This self-service workflow reduces integration time and allows you to arrive at QA validation with a working implementation.
