How To: OAuth 2.0 with Spring Security

Today, every one wants security. We build later, secure first. Every one needs security now a days. And web applications need security the most. Because there are thousand ways to hack into a web application. So developers, architects and all the team leave no stone unturned to make their application as secure as possible. There are different protocols and libraries available to protect your API and some of them are very good at what they do. OAuth 2.0 is one of them.


In this tutorial we will implement OAuth 2.0 to our spring project using Spring Security OAuth 2.0


Remember:

Before you go further remember that we are using

  • Maven 3

  • Spring 3.1.1.RELEASE

  • Spring Security 3.1.1.RELEASE

  • Spring Security OAuth2 1.0.0.RELEASE

Background:

You have an API, developed using Spring and Java, that returns a JSON object when you make a call to one of its functions, and you want to protect each call using OAuth 2.0 protocol.


Changes:

pom.xml

Make sure to have following dependencies in your file.

<!-- OAuth 2.0 dependencies -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.security.oauth</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-security-oauth2</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
    <version>${spring.version}</version>
</dependency>

<!-- Spring 3 dependencies -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
    <version>${spring.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
    <version>${spring.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
    <version>${spring.version}</version>
</dependency>

<!-- Spring Security -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-security-core</artifactId>
    <version>${spring.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-security-web</artifactId>
    <version>${spring.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-security-config</artifactId>
    <version>${spring.version}</version>
</dependency>

and most importantly you need a mirror site for OAuth dependency to be downloaded so add following to Settings.xml in Maven installed directory under mirrors tag

<mirror>
    <id>central</id>
    <mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
    <url>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/</url>
</mirror>

spring-security.xml:

Make spring-security.xml file among other configuration files and make sure it is included in following tag in web.xml so that it is in Context Path.

<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>/WEB-INF/mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml,
    /WEB-INF/spring-security.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

and make sure it has following configuration:

You can get token using 'Password Grant' from the link below:

I hope this will help you to apply OAuth 2.0 to spring projects using spring security OAuth 2.0.


Good Luck :)
