OAuth 2.1 Authorization Server - Implementation Summary

✅ Successfully Implemented

Your OAuth 2.1 Authorization Server is now fully functional and running on http://localhost:9000

🎯 Key Features Implemented

  1. OAuth 2.1 Compliance

    • ✅ PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange) required for all authorization code flows
    • ✅ Refresh token rotation (non-reusable tokens)
    • ✅ No implicit flow (removed for security)
    • ✅ No resource owner password flow (removed for security)
    • ✅ Exact redirect URI matching
  2. Grant Types Supported

    • ✅ Authorization Code with PKCE
    • ✅ Refresh Token (with rotation)
    • ✅ Client Credentials
  3. OpenID Connect 1.0

    • ✅ Full OIDC support
    • ✅ UserInfo endpoint
    • ✅ ID tokens (JWT)
  4. Security Features

    • ✅ JWT access tokens with RSA signatures
    • ✅ Form-based authentication
    • ✅ CSRF protection
    • ✅ H2 console (development only)

🔗 Available Endpoints

Endpoint URL Description
Home http://localhost:9000/ Server status
Well-Known http://localhost:9000/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server OAuth configuration

🚀 Quick Start

1. Run the Server

cd /Users/agalyaramadoss/Downloads/Auth201Server
./mvnw spring-boot:run

Server will start on: http://localhost:9000

2. Test with Bash Script

./test-oauth.sh

3. Test with Postman

Import postman_collection.json into Postman and test all flows.

4. Manual Test - Authorization Code Flow

# Generate PKCE
CODE_VERIFIER=$(openssl rand -base64 32 | tr -d '+/' | tr '=' '_' | cut -c1-43)
CODE_CHALLENGE=$(echo -n "$CODE_VERIFIER" | openssl dgst -binary -sha256 | openssl base64 | tr -d '+/' | tr '=' '_')

# Open in browser
open "http://localhost:9000/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=public-client&redirect_uri=http://127.0.0.1:8080/authorized&scope=openid%20profile%20read&code_challenge=$CODE_CHALLENGE&code_challenge_method=S256&state=xyz"

# After login (user/password), exchange code for tokens
curl -X POST http://localhost:9000/oauth2/token \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -d "grant_type=authorization_code" \
  -d "code=YOUR_CODE" \
  -d "redirect_uri=http://127.0.0.1:8080/authorized" \
  -d "client_id=public-client" \
  -d "code_verifier=$CODE_VERIFIER"

5. Test Client Credentials

curl -X POST http://localhost:9000/oauth2/token \
  -u confidential-client:secret \
  -d "grant_type=client_credentials" \
  -d "scope=read write"

📖 Next Steps

  1. Production Deployment

    • Replace H2 with PostgreSQL/MySQL
    • Configure HTTPS/TLS
    • Use persistent JWK keys
    • Configure proper issuer URL
    • Store clients and users in database
  2. Customization

    • Add more clients in SecurityConfig.java
    • Add more users or connect to LDAP/Active Directory
    • Customize token lifetimes
    • Add custom claims to JWT tokens
    • Implement custom consent pages
  3. Integration

    • Connect your frontend application
    • Protect your APIs with JWT tokens
    • Implement resource servers
    • Add social login providers
