Tanzu Local Authorization Server helps with running real Authorization Server locally, without relying on external services (Okta, Azure Entra, ...) or a more heavyweight solutions (Keycloak). It provides sane defaults and just enough features to produce access_token
s and id_token
s that look like prod tokens.
Tanzu Local Authorization Server also helps with unit-and-integration testing. By leveraging the experimental Spring Boot Testjars project, or packaging it in a Docker image, tests can rely on a fast-starting authserver.
