How-to: Customize the OpenID Connect 1.0 UserInfo response
This guide shows how to customize the UserInfo endpoint of the Spring Authorization Server. The purpose of this guide is to demonstrate how to enable the endpoint and use the available customization options to produce a custom response.
Enable the User Info Endpoint
The OpenID Connect 1.0 UserInfo endpoint is an OAuth2 protected resource, which REQUIRES an access token to be sent as a bearer token in the UserInfo request.
The Access Token obtained from an OpenID Connect Authentication Request MUST be sent as a Bearer Token, per Section 2 of OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token Usage [RFC6750].
Before customizing the response, you need to enable the UserInfo endpoint. The following listing shows how to enable the OAuth2 resource server configuration.

This configuration provides the following:
| 1 | A Spring Security filter chain for the Protocol Endpoints. |
| 2 | Enabling OpenID Connect 1.0 will autoconfigure resource server support that allows User Info requests to be authenticated with access tokens. |
| 3 | An instance of JwtDecoder used to validate access tokens. |
Customize the User Info response
The following sections describe some options for customizing the user info response.
Customize the ID Token
By default, the user info response is generated by using claims from the id_token that are returned with the token response.
Using the default strategy, standard claims are returned only with the user info response based on the requested scopes during authorization.
The preferred way to customize the user info response is to add standard claims to the id_token.
The following listing shows how to add claims to the id_token.
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.core.oidc.OidcUserInfo;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.core.oidc.endpoint.OidcParameterNames;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.server.authorization.token.JwtEncodingContext;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.server.authorization.token.OAuth2TokenCustomizer;
@Configuration
public class IdTokenCustomizerConfig {
@Bean (1)
public OAuth2TokenCustomizer<JwtEncodingContext> tokenCustomizer(
OidcUserInfoService userInfoService) {
return (context) -> {
if (OidcParameterNames.ID_TOKEN.equals(context.getTokenType().getValue())) {
OidcUserInfo userInfo = userInfoService.loadUser( (2)
context.getPrincipal().getName());
context.getClaims().claims(claims ->
claims.putAll(userInfo.getClaims()));
}
};
}
}This configuration provides the following:
| 1 | An instance of OAuth2TokenCustomizer for customizing the id_token. |
| 2 | A custom service used to obtain user info in a domain-specific way. |
The following listing shows a custom service for looking up user info in a domain-specific way:
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.core.oidc.OidcUserInfo;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
/**
* Example service to perform lookup of user info for customizing an {@code id_token}.
*/
@Service
public class OidcUserInfoService {
private final UserInfoRepository userInfoRepository = new UserInfoRepository();
public OidcUserInfo loadUser(String username) {
return new OidcUserInfo(this.userInfoRepository.findByUsername(username));
}
static class UserInfoRepository {
private final Map<String, Map<String, Object>> userInfo = new HashMap<>();
public UserInfoRepository() {
this.userInfo.put("user1", createUser("user1"));
this.userInfo.put("user2", createUser("user2"));
}
public Map<String, Object> findByUsername(String username) {
return this.userInfo.get(username);
}
private static Map<String, Object> createUser(String username) {
return OidcUserInfo.builder()
.subject(username)
.name("First Last")
.givenName("First")
.familyName("Last")
.middleName("Middle")
.nickname("User")
.preferredUsername(username)
.profile("https://example.com/" + username)
.picture("https://example.com/" + username + ".jpg")
.website("https://example.com")
.email(username + "@example.com")
.emailVerified(true)
.gender("female")
.birthdate("1970-01-01")
.zoneinfo("Europe/Paris")
.locale("en-US")
.phoneNumber("+1 (604) 555-1234;ext=5678")
.phoneNumberVerified(false)
.claim("address", Collections.singletonMap("formatted", "Champ de Mars\n5 Av. Anatole France\n75007 Paris\nFrance"))
.updatedAt("1970-01-01T00:00:00Z")
.build()
.getClaims();
}
}
}Customize the User Info Mapper
To fully customize the user info response, you can provide a custom user info mapper capable of generating the object used to render the response, which is an instance of the OidcUserInfo class from Spring Security.
The mapper implementation receives an instance of OidcUserInfoAuthenticationContext with information about the current request, including the OAuth2Authorization.
The following listing shows how to use the customization option that is available while working directly with the OAuth2AuthorizationServerConfigurer.

}This configuration maps claims from the access token (which is a JWT when using the Getting Started config) to populate the user info response and provides the following:
| 1 | A Spring Security filter chain for the Protocol Endpoints. |
| 2 | A user info mapper that maps claims in a domain-specific way. |
| 3 | Enabling OpenID Connect 1.0 will autoconfigure resource server support that allows User Info requests to be authenticated with access tokens. |
| 4 | An example showing the configuration option for customizing the user info mapper. |
The user info mapper is not limited to mapping claims from a JWT, but this is a simple example that demonstrates the customization option. Similar to the example shown earlier where we customize claims of the ID token, you can customize claims of the access token itself ahead of time, as in the following example:
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.server.authorization.OAuth2TokenType;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.server.authorization.token.JwtEncodingContext;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.server.authorization.token.OAuth2TokenCustomizer;
@Configuration
public class JwtTokenCustomizerConfig {
@Bean
public OAuth2TokenCustomizer<JwtEncodingContext> tokenCustomizer() {
return (context) -> {
if (OAuth2TokenType.ACCESS_TOKEN.equals(context.getTokenType())) {
context.getClaims().claims((claims) -> {
claims.put("claim-1", "value-1");
claims.put("claim-2", "value-2");
});
}
};
}
}Whether you customize the user info response directly or use this example and customize the access token, you can look up information in a database, perform an LDAP query, make a request to another service, or use any other means of obtaining the information you want to be presented in the user info response.
