Question

I can’t push my code to my domain and have been testing up until this point on my local web server, 127.0.0.1. But can I avoid registering a domain with the OAuth2 providers, and send requests from my IP address?

So far, I’ve done all research, but I’ve seen no indication that is is not possible. I’ve also seen no explicit information that it is.

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

You can register any domain, including localhost for local testing.

The Oauth server will not contact that domain by itself. It will only redirect users back to that domain as part of the authentication process, which works just fine when you test it locally with localhost.
