+# OpenID Connect Provider Certification
+The OpenID Foundation provides a set of [conformance test profiles][oidc-conf-profiles] that test both Relying Party and OpenID Provider (OP) OpenID Connect implementations. Upon submission of [results][oidc-result-submission] and an affirmative response, the affirmed OP will be listed as a [certified OP][oidc-certified-ops] on the OpenID Connect website and allowed to use the [certification mark][oidc-cert-mark] according to the certification [terms and conditions][oidc-terms-conds], section 3(d).
+## Basic OpenID Provider Tests
+Dex is an OP that implements the [mandatory set][oidc-core-spec-mandatory] of OpenID Connect features, and can be tested against the Basic OpenID Provider profile ([profile outline][oidc-conf-profiles], section 2.1.1). These tests ensure that all features required by a [basic client][oidc-basic-client-spec] work as expected.
+### Setup
+There are two ways to set up an OpenID test instance:
+1. Configure a test instance provided by The OpenID Foundation by following [instructions][oidc-test-config] on their website.
+1. Download their test runner from [GitHub][oidc-github] and follow the instructions in the [README][oidc-github-readme].
+    * Requires `docker` and `docker-compose`
+Configuration is essentially the same for either type of OpenID test instance. We will proceed with option 1 in this example, and set up an [AWS EC2 instance][aws-ec2-instance] to deploy dex:
+* Create an [AWS EC2 instance][aws-ec2-quick-start] and connect to your instance using [SSH][aws-ec2-ssh].
+* Install [dex][dex-install].
+* Ensure whatever port dex is listening on (usually 5556) is open to ingress traffic in your security group configuration.
+* In this example the public DNS name, automatically assigned to each internet-facing EC2 instance, is **my-test-ec2-server.com**. You can find your instances' in the AWS EC2 management console.
+### Configuring an OpenID test instance
+1. Navigate to [https://op.certification.openid.net:60000][oidc-test-start].
+1. Click 'New' configuration.
+1. Input your issuer url: `http://my-test-ec2-server.com:5556/dex`.
+1. Select `code` as the response type.
+1. Click 'Create' to further configure your OpenID instance.
+1. On the next page, copy and paste the `redirect_uris` into the `redirectURIs` config field (see below).
+1. At this point we can run dex, as we have all the information necessary to create a config file (`oidc-config.yaml` in this example):
+    ```yaml
+    issuer: http://my-test-ec2-server.com:5556/dex
+    storage:
+      type: sqlite3
+      config:
+        file: examples/dex.db
+    web:
+      http: 0.0.0.0:5556
+    oauth2:
+      skipApprovalScreen: true
+    staticClients:
+    - id: example-app
+      redirectURIs:
+      - 'https://op.certification.openid.net:${OPENID_SERVER_PORT}/authz_cb'
+      name: 'Example App'
+      secret: ZXhhbXBsZS1hcHAtc2VjcmV0
+    connectors:
+    - type: mockCallback
+      id: mock
+      name: Example
+    ```
+    * Substitute `OPENID_SERVER_PORT` for your OpenID test instance port number, assigned after configuring that instance.
+    * Set the `oauth2` field `skipApprovalScreen: true` to automate some clicking.
+1. Run dex:
+    ```bash
+    $ ./bin/dex serve oidc-config.yaml
+    time="2017-08-25T06:34:57Z" level=info msg="config issuer: http://my-test-ec2-server.com:5556/dex"
+    ...
+    ```
+1. Input `client_id` and `client_secret` from your config file.
+    * The `id` and `secret` used here are from the example config file [`staticClients` field](../examples/config-dev.yaml#L50-L55).
+1. Use data returned by the `GET /.well-known/openid-configuration` API call to fill in the rest of the configuration forms:
+    ```bash
+    [home@localhost ~]$ curl http://my-test-ec2-server.com:5556/dex/.well-known/openid-configuration
+    {
+      "issuer": "http://my-test-ec2-server.com:5556/dex",
+      "authorization_endpoint": "http://my-test-ec2-server.com:5556/dex/auth",
+      "token_endpoint": "http://my-test-ec2-server.com:5556/dex/token",
+      "jwks_uri": "http://my-test-ec2-server.com:5556/dex/keys",
+      "response_types_supported": [
+        "code"
+      ],
+      "subject_types_supported": [
+        "public"
+      ],
+      "id_token_signing_alg_values_supported": [
+        "RS256"
+      ],
+      "scopes_supported": [
+        "openid",
+        "email",
+        "groups",
+        "profile",
+        "offline_access"
+      ],
+      "token_endpoint_auth_methods_supported": [
+        "client_secret_basic"
+      ],
+      "claims_supported": [
+        "aud",
+        "email",
+        "email_verified",
+        "exp",
+        "iat",
+        "iss",
+        "locale",
+        "name",
+        "sub"
+      ]
+    }
+    ```
+    * Fill in all configuration information that the `/.well-known/openid-configuration` endpoint returns, althgouh this is not strictly necessary. We should give the test cases as much information about dex's OP implementation as possible.
+1. Press the 'Save and Start' button to start your OpenID test instance.
+1. Follow the provided link.
+1. Run through each test case, following all instructions given by individual cases.
+    * In order to pass certain cases, screenshots of OP responses might be required.
+## Result Submission
+Once all test cases pass, submit your results by following instructions listed [on the website][oidc-result-submission].
