jjwt
- Java JWT: JSON Web Token for Java and Android
-
A simple to use Java 8 JWT Library. Verify, Sign, Encode, Decode all day.
How does this compare to JJWT?
-
Null ECDSA Signatures - Proof of concept for bypassing JWT signature checks using CVE-2022-21449
Note that this PoC uses DER signature which is accepted by the jjwt library as fallback (see https://github.com/jwtk/jjwt/blob/master/impl/src/main/java/io/jsonwebtoken/impl/crypto/EllipticCurveSignatureValidator.java ), but that is not a standard. Standard is JOSE format.

Spring Security private_key_jwt with AWS KMS
Spring security has long had great OAuth2.0 support from both the server and client elements. Recently spring security added support for the private_key_jwt client authentication method as part of the authorization code grant flow. Spring Security GitHub ref

Spring with java vs Spring with kotlin
To be fair there were quite some unexpected surprises in the past with Spring and Kotlin (e.g. the Cachable annotation did not work with suspend functions, not all Spring security annotations were supported with coroutines), but most of them were ironed out already.

Spring Security WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter deprecated
They recently updated all the examples in the javadocs if you wanna bump your Spring Security version to 5.7.3 (see here). Otherwise the reference docs all reflect the non-deprecated approach that uses SecurityFilterChain and supporting beans.

š Spring Boot 2.7.0 Released
Spring Security 5.7

Spring Security without the WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter
Since Spring Security 5.7.0-M2 the use of WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter was deprecated (link to GitHub - https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-security/issues/10822) to move to component-based security configuration.

Spring Reactive Oauth2 Webclient not using configured proxy
When i start the flow, no proxy is used and even the WebClient is not used to get access token. And i get a timeout exception for that. The same issue was discussed in Github: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-security/issues/8966

How to ignore Url from Once per request filter
You can extract (and validate) the JWT token into the Principal by implementing the getPreAuthenticatedPrincipal method, and map the claims to user details by providing through a custom implementation of AuthenticationUserDetailsService.
-
Dynamically updating user roles.
Or, maybe simpler, is to create your own filter and add it after the SecurityContextPersistenceFilter. Here, just recreate the authentication token from the database, which is what token based authentication does (token based authentication has to preauthenticated authentication from the token for the actual user authentication with the user details).
