Not source routing, but tls pricing.

Perfectly normal in us govt contractor environments (such as ca technologies) and sso.

Bur we can pretend otherwise.

Remember the difference between SSL v2 and ietf SSL v3 / tls. The latter should suddenly facilitated poroxyng, thanks to iesg (and a few academic grants of cash)

Nothing stops TLS from working on the loopback.   You just can’t access it from another computer without source routing and that would be nasty.

I take it that you want to run a AS and client on the same server as programming project.

I suspect that running the AS with a self signed certificate on a real IP address and accessing it from another computer would be easier.

One alternative might be to run a VM on your computer for the AS so that it can have it’s own network address.   You can then run the client on your main computer.
Depending on the OS you can probably add entries to your hosts table to make it look nicer.

You can give https://bitbucket.org/PEOFIAMP/phpoidc <https://bitbucket.org/PEOFIAMP/phpoidc>  a try that should be fairly readable code.

It should be fairly easy to set up.  I suspect that fussing with self signed certs and your networks setting may take the longest.
I would use a VM like VerualBox as the AS myself, because I am lazy and it would be easier to debug.
