# Auth0 Spring Security for API
Spring Security integration with Auth0 to secure your API with Json Web Tokens (JWT)
If you need to check the old version please check the branch v0
Get Auth0 Spring Security API using Maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.auth0</groupId>
<artifactId>auth0-spring-security-api</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-rc.3</version>
</dependency>
or Gradle:
compile 'com.auth0:auth0-spring-security-api:1.0.0-rc.3'
Inside a WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter
you can configure your api to only accept RS256
signed JWTs
@EnableWebSecurity
@Configuration
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
JwtWebSecurityConfigurer
.forRS256("YOUR_API_AUDIENCE", "YOUR_API_ISSUER")
.configure(http);
}
}
or for HS256
signed JWTs
@EnableWebSecurity
@Configuration
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
JwtWebSecurityConfigurer
.forHS256("YOUR_API_AUDIENCE", "YOUR_API_ISSUER", "YOUR_API_SECRET".getBytes())
.configure(http);
}
}
Then using Spring Security HttpSecurity
you can specify which paths requires authentication
http.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/api/**").fullyAuthenticated();
and you can even specify that the JWT should have a single or several scopes
http.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers(HttpMethod.GET, "/api/users/**").hasAuthority("read:users");
JwtWebSecurityConfigurer#configure(HttpSecurity)
also returns HttpSecurity
so you can do the following:
@EnableWebSecurity
@Configuration
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
JwtWebSecurityConfigurer
.forRS256("YOUR_API_AUDIENCE", "YOUR_API_ISSUER")
.configure(http)
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers(HttpMethod.GET, "/api/users/**").hasAuthority("read:users");
}
}
Perhaps the easiest way to learn how to use this library (and quickly get started with a working app) is to study the Auth0 Spring Security API Sample and its README.
Auth0 helps you to:
- Add authentication with multiple authentication sources, either social like Google, Facebook, Microsoft Account, LinkedIn, GitHub, Twitter, Box, Salesforce, amont others, or enterprise identity systems like Windows Azure AD, Google Apps, Active Directory, ADFS or any SAML Identity Provider.
- Add authentication through more traditional username/password databases.
- Add support for linking different user accounts with the same user.
- Support for generating signed Json Web Tokens to call your APIs and flow the user identity securely.
- Analytics of how, when and where users are logging in.
- Pull data from other sources and add it to the user profile, through JavaScript rules.
- Go to Auth0 and click Sign Up.
- Use Google, GitHub or Microsoft Account to login.
