I am trying to setup API calls for performance testing using Jmeter 3.0
As a prerequisite i need to create OAuth 2.0 token for authentication purposes.
So I am trying to setup the token generation mechanism in Jmeter itself.
Jmeter has OAuth sampler but it doesn't state whether it uses OAuth 2.0 or HMAC SHA256 algorithm .
Question is what is the best process for generating the token?
I have browsed Blazemeter blog but it talks about making use of Google API for generating the HMAC key.

I am not sure if this is even a valid question or not, but, is there a way we can generate the authorization & access tokens (oauth 2.0) using JMeter?
JMeter version - 5.4.1
NOTE : oauth Sampler plugin in JMeter is deprecated.
It's a matter of simple correlation, just replicate the OAuth Flow in terms of HTTP Requests from browser (or other application) using JMeter's HTTP Request samplers and extract the dynamic values from the responses using suitable Post-Processors, most probably you will need JSON Extractor or JSON JMESPath Extractor
Some OAuth providers offer Java Client SDKs and you can authenticate using JSR223 Sampler and invoke the authorization functions offered by the SDK
I use Kong as API Gateway for my services which should be OAuth-protected using the Client Credentials flow. Right now, I implemented this using the jwt-keycloak plugin. Everything's fine, I request an auth-token from Keycloak and pass it on with my request towards Kong. Works great.
But there is also the official OAuth2 plugin, and I try to find out what that OAuth2 plugin would to better for me in contrast to the jwt-keycloak plugin? What are the differences, or when to use which of these?
OAuth 2.0 Authentication Plugin is the equivalent of a Keycloak. Kong doubles up as an authorization server if you add the above plugin.
The plugin you are using - jwt-keycloak is more like a validator, that checks for the validity of the tokens issued by Keycloak before passing the request to the backends you host on Kong.
I need to test HTTPS requests with OAuth 1.0 as the authentication method. I tried using the deprecated plugins with older versions, and the Blazemeter script for the same, but neither of them work. I just need to pass the Consumer Key and Secret and sign the HTTPS request with OAuth 1.0 using Jmeter. Can anyone help here please?
JMeter has never supported OAuth per se, so I would recommend using JSR223 PreProcessor in order to sign your request.
Check out How to Run Performance Tests on OAuth Secured Apps with JMeter article which has an example of bypassing OAuth 1.0 challenge using Groovy scripting and oauth-signpost library.
The approach is not guaranteed to work for all OAuth implementations as there could be many encryption options so you may need to modify the code according to your infrastructure.
How does one validate an OAuth 2.0 access token obtained from a WSO2 Identity Server?
More specifically, I am looking for a lightweight alternative that:
does not involve direct or indirect SOAP requests (such as using stubs to call an admin service).
has a small set of dependencies (in software libraries and/or required other middleware components).
I understood how to write Running OAuth 2.0 code for the client side.
Using existing Authorization Server, like Google, seems to be not too complicated.
Question is: How to implement my own Authorization Server?
Since many companies have their own User/Privilege system, LDAP based (e.g. Active Directory), etc. - they must have their own Authorization Server.
Is there a framework, libraries, etc. for that? Or do I have to write the code from scratch?
The best reference is the OAuth 2.0 site. They list the available server libraries that you can use. Currently, the options are:
Java
Apache Oltu
Spring Security for OAuth
Apis Authorization Server (v2-31)
Restlet Framework (draft 30)
Apache CXF
PHP
PHP OAuth2 Server and Demo
PHP OAuth 2.0 Auth and Resource Server and Demo
PHP OAuth 2.0 (AS with SAML/BrowserID AuthN, with management REST API, see DEMO)
Python
Python OAuth 2.0 Provider (see Tutorial)
OAuthLib (a generic implementation of the OAuth request-signing logic) is avaliable for Django and Flask web frameworks
Other
NodeJS OAuth 2.0 Provider
Ruby OAuth2 Server (draft 18)
.NET DotNetOpenAuth
Erlang Oauth2 Server framework
I would also highly recommend that you read all the documentation available on how the standard works before getting started. There are many parts to OAuth and it can get confusing. At least, that's how I feel.
Check out OpenAM by Forgrock. With little work you should be able to get a java based OAuth authorization server running.
