Description

Summary

As it stands the tests that are in Spring Security's OAuth Samples do not test the actual configuration. They are instead copying and modifying the samples to allow testing.

This might seem innocent enough, but we don't want our users to follow this pattern. We need to demonstrate how the existing configuration can be used with perhaps mocking a small piece of the application or running a MockWebServer instance

Research direction

Inspect the OAuth Samples and their existing tests to identify where tests copy and modify sample configuration. Start by comparing those test setups with the shipped configurations. Done means the tests exercise the actual sample configuration while mocking only a small application component or using a MockWebServer instance.
