Spring Boot: OAuth

Social login with Spring Boot

Two main alternatives:

• pac4j: https://github.com/pac4j/spring-webmvc-pac4j
• spring-boot’s own approach

Pac4j:

Start with this:

• pac4j: https://github.com/pac4j/spring-webmvc-pac4j

Spring boot’s own approach

https://spring.io/guides/tutorials/spring-boot-oauth2/

Note that you may also need this information for managing the configuration secrets securely:

• https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-external-config.html

This may be more useful

• https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-samples/spring-boot-sample-oauth2-client

Section 4 of this document, which describes the OAuth2 client, may also be relevant:

• https://docs.spring.io/spring-security-oauth2-boot/docs/current-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/

The format of the Callback URL should apparently be:

http://localhost:8080/login/oauth2/code/github

OR

https://my-heroku-app-name.herokuapp.com/login/oauth2/code/github

OAuth with Spring Boot

More notes

• There seems to be some movement in terms of updating libraries from an older version to a newer version: https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/pac4j-users/VeOMuiYiI6A
