Identity Testing Patterns When to Use This Skill Use this skill when: Writing integration tests for applications that issue or validate tokens using Duende IdentityServer Hosting IdentityServer in-memory with WebApplicationFactory to test grant flows end-to-end Creating mock JWT tokens for testing protected APIs without a live authority Testing custom IProfileService implementations or claim transformation logic Verifying IAuthorizationHandler and policy-based authorization against specific claim sets Testing BFF endpoints that rely on cookie-based sessions and proxied API calls Scaffolding an integration-test project from the duende-is-inmem template to test IdentityServer itself Running a post-deployment login-flow smoke test without a headless browser Core Principles Integration over unit — Test token issuance, claim mapping, and policy enforcement against a real (in-process) IdentityServer instance.
