Spring Security provides comprehensive OAuth 2.0 support. This section discusses how to integrate OAuth 2.0 into your servlet based application.
Overview
Spring Security’s OAuth 2.0 support consists of two primary feature sets:
OAuth2 Login is a very powerful OAuth2 Client feature that deserves its own section in the reference documentation. However, it does not exist as a standalone feature and requires OAuth2 Client in order to function. |
These feature sets cover the resource server and client roles defined in the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework, while the authorization server role is covered by Spring Authorization Server, which is a separate project built on Spring Security.
The resource server and client roles in OAuth2 are typically represented by one or more server-side applications. Additionally, the authorization server role can be represented by one or more third parties (as is the case when centralizing identity management and/or authentication within an organization) -or- it can be represented by an application (as is the case with Spring Authorization Server).
For example, a typical OAuth2-based microservices architecture might consist of a single user-facing client application, several backend resource servers providing REST APIs and a third party authorization server for managing users and authentication concerns. It is also common to have a single application representing only one of these roles with the need to integrate with one or more third parties that are providing the other roles.
Spring Security handles these scenarios and more. The following sections cover the roles provided by Spring Security and contain examples for common scenarios.

OAuth2 Resource Server
This section contains a summary of OAuth2 Resource Server features with examples. See OAuth 2.0 Resource Server for complete reference documentation. |
To get started, add the spring-security-oauth2-resource-server
dependency to your project.
When using Spring Boot, add the following starter:
-
Gradle
-
Maven
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-oauth2-resource-server'
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-oauth2-resource-server</artifactId>
</dependency>
See Getting Spring Security for additional options when not using Spring Boot. |
Consider the following use cases for OAuth2 Resource Server:
-
I want to protect access to the API using OAuth2 (authorization server provides JWT or opaque access token)
-
I want to protect access to the API using a JWT (custom token)
Protect Access with an OAuth2 Access Token
It is very common to protect access to an API using OAuth2 access tokens. In most cases, Spring Security requires only minimal configuration to secure an application with OAuth2.
There are two types of Bearer
tokens supported by Spring Security which each use a different component for validation:
-
JWT support uses a
JwtDecoder
bean to validate signatures and decode tokens -
Opaque token support uses an
OpaqueTokenIntrospector
bean to introspect tokens
JWT Support
The following example configures a JwtDecoder
bean using Spring Boot configuration properties:
spring:
security:
oauth2:
resourceserver:
jwt:
issuer-uri: https://my-auth-server.com
When using Spring Boot, this is all that is required. The default arrangement provided by Spring Boot is equivalent to the following:
-
Java
-
Kotlin
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
public SecurityFilterChain securityFilterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.authorizeHttpRequests((authorize) -> authorize
.anyRequest().authenticated()
)
.oauth2ResourceServer((oauth2) -> oauth2
.jwt(Customizer.withDefaults())
);
return http.build();
}
@Bean
public JwtDecoder jwtDecoder() {
return JwtDecoders.fromIssuerLocation("https://my-auth-server.com");
}
}
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.invoke
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
fun securityFilterChain(http: HttpSecurity): SecurityFilterChain {
http {
authorizeHttpRequests {
authorize(anyRequest, authenticated)
}
oauth2ResourceServer {
jwt { }
}
}
return http.build()
}
@Bean
fun jwtDecoder(): JwtDecoder {
return JwtDecoders.fromIssuerLocation("https://my-auth-server.com")
}
}
Opaque Token Support
The following example configures an OpaqueTokenIntrospector
bean using Spring Boot configuration properties:
spring:
security:
oauth2:
resourceserver:
opaquetoken:
introspection-uri: https://my-auth-server.com/oauth2/introspect
client-id: my-client-id
client-secret: my-client-secret
When using Spring Boot, this is all that is required. The default arrangement provided by Spring Boot is equivalent to the following:
-
Java
-
Kotlin
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
public SecurityFilterChain securityFilterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.authorizeHttpRequests((authorize) -> authorize
.anyRequest().authenticated()
)
.oauth2ResourceServer((oauth2) -> oauth2
.opaqueToken(Customizer.withDefaults())
);
return http.build();
}
@Bean
public OpaqueTokenIntrospector opaqueTokenIntrospector() {
return new SpringOpaqueTokenIntrospector(
"https://my-auth-server.com/oauth2/introspect", "my-client-id", "my-client-secret");
}
}
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.invoke
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
fun securityFilterChain(http: HttpSecurity): SecurityFilterChain {
http {
authorizeHttpRequests {
authorize(anyRequest, authenticated)
}
oauth2ResourceServer {
opaqueToken { }
}
}
return http.build()
}
@Bean
fun opaqueTokenIntrospector(): OpaqueTokenIntrospector {
return SpringOpaqueTokenIntrospector(
"https://my-auth-server.com/oauth2/introspect", "my-client-id", "my-client-secret"
)
}
}
Protect Access with a custom JWT
It is a fairly common goal to protect access to an API using JWTs, particularly when the frontend is developed as a single-page application.
The OAuth2 Resource Server support in Spring Security can be used for any type of Bearer
token, including a custom JWT.
All that is required to protect an API using JWTs is a JwtDecoder
bean, which is used to validate signatures and decode tokens.
Spring Security will automatically use the provided bean to configure protection within the SecurityFilterChain
.
The following example configures a JwtDecoder
bean using Spring Boot configuration properties:
spring:
security:
oauth2:
resourceserver:
jwt:
public-key-location: classpath:my-public-key.pub
You can provide the public key as a classpath resource (called |
When using Spring Boot, this is all that is required. The default arrangement provided by Spring Boot is equivalent to the following:

.authorizeHttpRequests((authorize) -> authorize
.anyRequest().authenticated()

.oauth2ResourceServer((oauth2) -> oauth2
.jwt(Customizer.withDefaults())
);
return http.build();
}
@Bean
public JwtDecoder jwtDecoder() {
return NimbusJwtDecoder.withPublicKey(publicKey()).build();
}
private RSAPublicKey publicKey() {

@Bean
fun jwtDecoder(): JwtDecoder {

OAuth2 Client
This section contains a summary of OAuth2 Client features with examples. See OAuth 2.0 Client and OAuth 2.0 Login for complete reference documentation. |
To get started, add the spring-security-oauth2-client
dependency to your project.
When using Spring Boot, add the following starter:
-
Gradle
-
Maven
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-oauth2-client'
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-oauth2-client</artifactId>
</dependency>
See Getting Spring Security for additional options when not using Spring Boot. |
Consider the following use cases for OAuth2 Client:
Log Users In with OAuth2
It is very common to require users to log in via OAuth2.
OpenID Connect 1.0 provides a special token called the id_token
which is designed to provide an OAuth2 Client with the ability to perform user identity verification and log users in.
In certain cases, OAuth2 can be used directly to log users in (as is the case with popular social login providers that do not implement OpenID Connect such as GitHub and Facebook).
The following example configures the application to act as an OAuth2 Client capable of logging users in with OAuth2 or OpenID Connect:
-
Java
-
Kotlin
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
public SecurityFilterChain securityFilterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
// ...
.oauth2Login(Customizer.withDefaults());
return http.build();
}
}
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.invoke
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
fun securityFilterChain(http: HttpSecurity): SecurityFilterChain {
http {
// ...
oauth2Login { }
}
return http.build()
}
}
In addition to the above configuration, the application requires at least one ClientRegistration
to be configured through the use of a ClientRegistrationRepository
bean.
The following example configures an InMemoryClientRegistrationRepository
bean using Spring Boot configuration properties:
spring:
security:
oauth2:
client:
registration:
my-oidc-client:
provider: my-oidc-provider
client-id: my-client-id
client-secret: my-client-secret
authorization-grant-type: authorization_code
scope: openid,profile
provider:
my-oidc-provider:
issuer-uri: https://my-oidc-provider.com
With the above configuration, the application now supports two additional endpoints:
-
The login endpoint (e.g.
/oauth2/authorization/my-oidc-client
) is used to initiate login and perform a redirect to the third party authorization server. -
The redirection endpoint (e.g.
/login/oauth2/code/my-oidc-client
) is used by the authorization server to redirect back to the client application, and will contain acode
parameter used to obtain anid_token
and/oraccess_token
via the access token request.
The presence of the |
Access Protected Resources
Making requests to a third party API that is protected by OAuth2 is a core use case of OAuth2 Client.
This is accomplished by authorizing a client (represented by the OAuth2AuthorizedClient
class in Spring Security) and accessing protected resources by placing a Bearer
token in the Authorization
header of an outbound request.
The following example configures the application to act as an OAuth2 Client capable of requesting protected resources from a third party API:
-
Java
-
Kotlin
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
public SecurityFilterChain securityFilterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
// ...
.oauth2Client(Customizer.withDefaults());
return http.build();
}
}
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.invoke
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
fun securityFilterChain(http: HttpSecurity): SecurityFilterChain {
http {
// ...
oauth2Client { }
}
return http.build()
}
}
The above example does not provide a way to log users in.
You can use any other login mechanism (such as |
In addition to the above configuration, the application requires at least one ClientRegistration
to be configured through the use of a ClientRegistrationRepository
bean.
The following example configures an InMemoryClientRegistrationRepository
bean using Spring Boot configuration properties:
spring:
security:
oauth2:
client:
registration:
my-oauth2-client:
provider: my-auth-server
client-id: my-client-id
client-secret: my-client-secret
authorization-grant-type: authorization_code
scope: message.read,message.write
provider:
my-auth-server:
issuer-uri: https://my-auth-server.com
In addition to configuring Spring Security to support OAuth2 Client features, you will also need to decide how you will be accessing protected resources and configure your application accordingly.
Spring Security provides implementations of OAuth2AuthorizedClientManager
for obtaining access tokens that can be used to access protected resources.
Spring Security registers a default |
The easiest way to use an OAuth2AuthorizedClientManager
is via an ExchangeFilterFunction
that intercepts requests through a WebClient
.
To use WebClient
, you will need to add the spring-webflux
dependency along with a reactive client implementation:
-
Gradle
-
Maven
implementation 'org.springframework:spring-webflux'
implementation 'io.projectreactor.netty:reactor-netty'
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-webflux</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.projectreactor.netty</groupId>
<artifactId>reactor-netty</artifactId>
</dependency>
The following example uses the default OAuth2AuthorizedClientManager
to configure a WebClient
capable of accessing protected resources by placing Bearer
tokens in the Authorization
header of each request:
WebClient
with ExchangeFilterFunction
-
Java
-
Kotlin
@Configuration
public class WebClientConfig {
@Bean
public WebClient webClient(OAuth2AuthorizedClientManager authorizedClientManager) {
ServletOAuth2AuthorizedClientExchangeFilterFunction filter =
new ServletOAuth2AuthorizedClientExchangeFilterFunction(authorizedClientManager);
return WebClient.builder()
.apply(filter.oauth2Configuration())
.build();
}
}
@Configuration
class WebClientConfig {
@Bean
fun webClient(authorizedClientManager: OAuth2AuthorizedClientManager): WebClient {
val filter = ServletOAuth2AuthorizedClientExchangeFilterFunction(authorizedClientManager)
return WebClient.builder()
.apply(filter.oauth2Configuration())
.build()
}
}
This configured WebClient
can be used as in the following example:
WebClient
to Access Protected Resources-
Java
-
Kotlin
import static org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.web.reactive.function.client.ServletOAuth2AuthorizedClientExchangeFilterFunction.clientRegistrationId;
@RestController
public class MessagesController {
private final WebClient webClient;
public MessagesController(WebClient webClient) {
this.webClient = webClient;
}
@GetMapping("/messages")
public ResponseEntity<List<Message>> messages() {
return this.webClient.get()
.uri("http://localhost:8090/messages")
.attributes(clientRegistrationId("my-oauth2-client"))
.retrieve()
.toEntityList(Message.class)
.block();
}
public record Message(String message) {
}
}
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.web.reactive.function.client.ServletOAuth2AuthorizedClientExchangeFilterFunction.clientRegistrationId
@RestController
class MessagesController(private val webClient: WebClient) {
@GetMapping("/messages")
fun messages(): ResponseEntity<List<Message>> {
return webClient.get()
.uri("http://localhost:8090/messages")
.attributes(clientRegistrationId("my-oauth2-client"))
.retrieve()
.toEntityList<Message>()
.block()!!
}
data class Message(val message: String)
}
Access Protected Resources for the Current User
When a user is logged in via OAuth2 or OpenID Connect, the authorization server may provide an access token that can be used directly to access protected resources.
This is convenient because it only requires a single ClientRegistration
to be configured for both use cases simultaneously.
This section combines Log Users In with OAuth2 and Access Protected Resources into a single configuration.
Other advanced scenarios exist, such as configuring one |
The following example configures the application to act as an OAuth2 Client capable of logging the user in and requesting protected resources from a third party API:
-
Java

Kotlin
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
public SecurityFilterChain securityFilterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
// ...
.oauth2Login(Customizer.withDefaults())
.oauth2Client(Customizer.withDefaults());
return http.build();
}
}
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.invoke
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
fun securityFilterChain(http: HttpSecurity): SecurityFilterChain {
http {
// ...
oauth2Login { }
oauth2Client { }
}
return http.build()
}
}
In addition to the above configuration, the application requires at least one ClientRegistration
to be configured through the use of a ClientRegistrationRepository
bean.

Enable an Extension Grant Type
A common use case involves enabling and/or configuring an extension grant type.
For example, Spring Security provides support for the jwt-bearer
and token-exchange
grant types, but does not enable them by default because they are not part of the core OAuth 2.0 specification.
With Spring Security 6.2 and later, we can simply publish a bean for one or more OAuth2AuthorizedClientProvider
and they will be picked up automatically.
The following example simply enables the jwt-bearer
grant type:
jwt-bearer
Grant Type-
Java
-
Kotlin
@Configuration
public class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
public OAuth2AuthorizedClientProvider jwtBearer() {
return new JwtBearerOAuth2AuthorizedClientProvider();
}
}
@Configuration
class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
fun jwtBearer(): OAuth2AuthorizedClientProvider {
return JwtBearerOAuth2AuthorizedClientProvider()
}
}
A default OAuth2AuthorizedClientManager
will be published automatically by Spring Security when one is not already provided.
Any custom |
In order to achieve the above configuration prior to Spring Security 6.2, we had to publish this bean ourselves and ensure we re-enabled default grant types as well. To understand what is being configured behind the scenes, here’s what the configuration might have looked like:
jwt-bearer
Grant Type (prior to 6.2)-
Java
-
Kotlin
@Configuration
public class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
public OAuth2AuthorizedClientManager authorizedClientManager(
ClientRegistrationRepository clientRegistrationRepository,
OAuth2AuthorizedClientRepository authorizedClientRepository) {
OAuth2AuthorizedClientProvider authorizedClientProvider =
OAuth2AuthorizedClientProviderBuilder.builder()
.authorizationCode()
.refreshToken()
.clientCredentials()
.password()
.provider(new JwtBearerOAuth2AuthorizedClientProvider())
.build();
DefaultOAuth2AuthorizedClientManager authorizedClientManager =
new DefaultOAuth2AuthorizedClientManager(
clientRegistrationRepository, authorizedClientRepository);
authorizedClientManager.setAuthorizedClientProvider(authorizedClientProvider);
return authorizedClientManager;
}
}
@Configuration
class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
fun authorizedClientManager(
clientRegistrationRepository: ClientRegistrationRepository,
authorizedClientRepository: OAuth2AuthorizedClientRepository
): OAuth2AuthorizedClientManager {
val authorizedClientProvider = OAuth2AuthorizedClientProviderBuilder.builder()
.authorizationCode()
.refreshToken()
.clientCredentials()
.password()
.provider(JwtBearerOAuth2AuthorizedClientProvider())
.build()
val authorizedClientManager = DefaultOAuth2AuthorizedClientManager(
clientRegistrationRepository, authorizedClientRepository
)
authorizedClientManager.setAuthorizedClientProvider(authorizedClientProvider)
return authorizedClientManager
}
}
Customize an Existing Grant Type
The ability to enable extension grant types by publishing a bean also provides the opportunity for customizing an existing grant type without the need to re-define the defaults.
For example, if we want to customize the clock skew of the OAuth2AuthorizedClientProvider
for the client_credentials
grant, we can simply publish a bean like so:
-
Java
-
Kotlin
@Configuration
public class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
public OAuth2AuthorizedClientProvider clientCredentials() {
ClientCredentialsOAuth2AuthorizedClientProvider authorizedClientProvider =
new ClientCredentialsOAuth2AuthorizedClientProvider();
authorizedClientProvider.setClockSkew(Duration.ofMinutes(5));
return authorizedClientProvider;
}
}
@Configuration
class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
fun clientCredentials(): OAuth2AuthorizedClientProvider {
val authorizedClientProvider = ClientCredentialsOAuth2AuthorizedClientProvider()
authorizedClientProvider.setClockSkew(Duration.ofMinutes(5))
return authorizedClientProvider
}
}
Customize Token Request Parameters
The need to customize request parameters when obtaining an access token is fairly common.
For example, let’s say we want to add a custom audience
parameter to the token request because the provider requires this parameter for the authorization_code
grant.
With Spring Security 6.2 and later, we can simply publish a bean of type OAuth2AccessTokenResponseClient
with the generic type OAuth2AuthorizationCodeGrantRequest
and it will be used by Spring Security to configure OAuth2 Client components.
The following example customizes token request parameters for the authorization_code
grant without the DSL:
-
Java
-
Kotlin
@Configuration
public class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
public OAuth2AccessTokenResponseClient<OAuth2AuthorizationCodeGrantRequest> authorizationCodeAccessTokenResponseClient() {
OAuth2AuthorizationCodeGrantRequestEntityConverter requestEntityConverter =
new OAuth2AuthorizationCodeGrantRequestEntityConverter();
requestEntityConverter.addParametersConverter(parametersConverter());
DefaultAuthorizationCodeTokenResponseClient accessTokenResponseClient =
new DefaultAuthorizationCodeTokenResponseClient();
accessTokenResponseClient.setRequestEntityConverter(requestEntityConverter);
return accessTokenResponseClient;
}
private static Converter<OAuth2AuthorizationCodeGrantRequest, MultiValueMap<String, String>> parametersConverter() {
return (grantRequest) -> {
MultiValueMap<String, String> parameters = new LinkedMultiValueMap<>();
parameters.set("audience", "xyz_value");
return parameters;
};
}
}
@Configuration
class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
fun authorizationCodeAccessTokenResponseClient(): OAuth2AccessTokenResponseClient<OAuth2AuthorizationCodeGrantRequest> {
val requestEntityConverter = OAuth2AuthorizationCodeGrantRequestEntityConverter()
requestEntityConverter.addParametersConverter(parametersConverter())
val accessTokenResponseClient = DefaultAuthorizationCodeTokenResponseClient()
accessTokenResponseClient.setRequestEntityConverter(requestEntityConverter)
return accessTokenResponseClient
}
private fun parametersConverter(): Converter<OAuth2AuthorizationCodeGrantRequest, MultiValueMap<String, String>> {
return Converter<OAuth2AuthorizationCodeGrantRequest, MultiValueMap<String, String>> { grantRequest ->
LinkedMultiValueMap<String, String>().also { parameters ->
parameters["audience"] = "xyz_value"
}
}
}
}
Notice that we don’t need to customize the |
Prior to Spring Security 6.2, we had to ensure that this customization was applied for both OAuth2 Login (if we are using this feature) and OAuth2 Client components using the Spring Security DSL. To understand what is being configured behind the scenes, here’s what the configuration might have looked like:
-
Java
-
Kotlin
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
public SecurityFilterChain securityFilterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
OAuth2AuthorizationCodeGrantRequestEntityConverter requestEntityConverter =
new OAuth2AuthorizationCodeGrantRequestEntityConverter();
requestEntityConverter.addParametersConverter(parametersConverter());
DefaultAuthorizationCodeTokenResponseClient accessTokenResponseClient =
new DefaultAuthorizationCodeTokenResponseClient();
accessTokenResponseClient.setRequestEntityConverter(requestEntityConverter);

.authorizeHttpRequests((authorize) -> authorize
.anyRequest().authenticated()

.oauth2Login((oauth2Login) -> oauth2Login
.tokenEndpoint((tokenEndpoint) -> tokenEndpoint
.accessTokenResponseClient(accessTokenResponseClient)

)
.oauth2Client((oauth2Client) -> oauth2Client
.authorizationCodeGrant((authorizationCode) -> authorizationCode
.accessTokenResponseClient(accessTokenResponseClient)
)
);
return http.build();
}
private static Converter<OAuth2AuthorizationCodeGrantRequest, MultiValueMap<String, String>> parametersConverter() {
// ...
}
}
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.invoke
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
fun securityFilterChain(http: HttpSecurity): SecurityFilterChain {
val requestEntityConverter = OAuth2AuthorizationCodeGrantRequestEntityConverter()
requestEntityConverter.addParametersConverter(parametersConverter())
val tokenResponseClient = DefaultAuthorizationCodeTokenResponseClient()
tokenResponseClient.setRequestEntityConverter(requestEntityConverter)
http {
authorizeHttpRequests {
authorize(anyRequest, authenticated)
}
oauth2Login {
tokenEndpoint {
accessTokenResponseClient = tokenResponseClient
}
}
oauth2Client {
authorizationCodeGrant {
accessTokenResponseClient = tokenResponseClient
}
}
}
return http.build()
}
private fun parametersConverter(): Converter<OAuth2AuthorizationCodeGrantRequest, MultiValueMap<String, String>> {
// ...
}
}
For other grant types we can publish additional OAuth2AccessTokenResponseClient
beans to override the defaults.
For example, to customize token requests for the client_credentials
grant we can publish the following bean:
-
Java
-
Kotlin
@Configuration
public class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
public OAuth2AccessTokenResponseClient<OAuth2ClientCredentialsGrantRequest> clientCredentialsAccessTokenResponseClient() {
OAuth2ClientCredentialsGrantRequestEntityConverter requestEntityConverter =
new OAuth2ClientCredentialsGrantRequestEntityConverter();
requestEntityConverter.addParametersConverter(parametersConverter());
DefaultClientCredentialsTokenResponseClient accessTokenResponseClient =
new DefaultClientCredentialsTokenResponseClient();
accessTokenResponseClient.setRequestEntityConverter(requestEntityConverter);
return accessTokenResponseClient;
}
private static Converter<OAuth2ClientCredentialsGrantRequest, MultiValueMap<String, String>> parametersConverter() {
// ...
}
}
@Configuration
class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
fun clientCredentialsAccessTokenResponseClient(): OAuth2AccessTokenResponseClient<OAuth2ClientCredentialsGrantRequest> {
val requestEntityConverter = OAuth2ClientCredentialsGrantRequestEntityConverter()
requestEntityConverter.addParametersConverter(parametersConverter())
val accessTokenResponseClient = DefaultClientCredentialsTokenResponseClient()
accessTokenResponseClient.setRequestEntityConverter(requestEntityConverter)
return accessTokenResponseClient
}
private fun parametersConverter(): Converter<OAuth2ClientCredentialsGrantRequest, MultiValueMap<String, String>> {
// ...
}
}
Spring Security automatically resolves the following generic types of OAuth2AccessTokenResponseClient
beans:
-
OAuth2AuthorizationCodeGrantRequest
(seeDefaultAuthorizationCodeTokenResponseClient
) -
OAuth2RefreshTokenGrantRequest
(seeDefaultRefreshTokenTokenResponseClient
) -
OAuth2ClientCredentialsGrantRequest
(seeDefaultClientCredentialsTokenResponseClient

OAuth2PasswordGrantRequest

(seeDefaultJwtBearerTokenResponseClient
) -

Customize the RestOperations
used by OAuth2 Client Components
Another common use case is the need to customize the RestOperations
used when obtaining an access token.
We might need to do this to customize processing of the response (via a custom HttpMessageConverter
) or to apply proxy settings for a corporate network (via a customized ClientHttpRequestFactory
).
With Spring Security 6.2 and later, we can simply publish beans of type OAuth2AccessTokenResponseClient
and Spring Security will configure and publish an OAuth2AuthorizedClientManager
bean for us.
The following example customizes the RestOperations
for all of the supported grant types:

A default OAuth2AuthorizedClientManager
will be published automatically by Spring Security when one is not already provided.
Notice that we don’t need to customize the |
Prior to Spring Security 6.2, we had to ensure this customization was applied to both OAuth2 Login (if we are using this feature) and OAuth2 Client components.
We had to use both the Spring Security DSL (for the authorization_code
grant) and publish a bean of type OAuth2AuthorizedClientManager
for other grant types.
To understand what is being configured behind the scenes, here’s what the configuration might have looked like:
