  • 1

    Kickoff with Steve, aiming to secure an app with Spring's new Authorization Server.

  • 2

    Plans to build an OAuth2 setup, moving from insecure to secure in a live demo.

  • 3

    Explains the journey: from client credentials to full OIDC login with an API.

Core Spring Boot concepts, specifically auto-configuration mechanisms, dependency management, and application properties configuration in Spring Boot 3.x.
Fundamental OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocols, including grant types (Authorization Code, Client Credentials) and token mechanisms.
Spring Security fundamentals, including the SecurityFilterChain, authentication vs. authorization, and basic filter configurations.
JSON Web Tokens (JWT) structure, cryptographic signatures, and the role of JSON Web Key Sets (JWKS) in token verification.
Implementing production-ready persistence for client registrations, consent, and authorization states using JPA/JDBC databases instead of in-memory stores.
Customizing the user authentication experience, including custom login pages, consent screens, and integrating MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication).
Configuring federated identity and social logins (e.g., Google, GitHub) utilizing Spring Security's OAuth2 login capabilities.
Optimizing and compiling Spring Boot applications into GraalVM Native Images for rapid startup and reduced memory consumption in containerized environments.
Designing a secure microservices architecture by integrating the Authorization Server with an API Gateway (like Spring Cloud Gateway) and Resource Servers.

Spring Boot 3.1 introduces built-in OAuth 2.0 authorization server support through Spring Authorization Server, enabling developers to implement secure token-based authentication with minimal configuration. The server supports multiple OAuth 2.0 flows including client credentials and authorization code, and integrates seamlessly with Spring Security to protect APIs using resource servers. This eliminates the need for external authorization servers like Keycloak, allowing developers to mint tokens, manage client credentials, and implement method-level security annotations for fine-grained access control.
