Spring Boot Demo Application to authenticate against Facebook and Google OAuth2

spring-boot-security-oauth2

This Spring Boot Application demonstrates 2 different ways of authenticating users:

• Self managed account authentication using dbms
• Integration with 3rd party OAuth2 authentication server such as Faceebook and Google

Things to note

• Remember to get client-id and client secret for both Facebook and Google and fill up in the application properties.
• A self-signed certificate is generated to serve the site on HTTPS because Facebook enforces OAuth2 client to be on HTTPS before authenticating against Facebook server.
• If you decided to terminate your SSL cert on a load balancer, you should enable server.use-forward-headers under the properties file. Refer to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49765687/redirect-uri-using-http-instead-of-https/50808675#50808675. Please also disable the SSL key configuration in the application.properties file.
• Enable server.tomcat.accesslog.enabled in the application properties for troubleshooting on the oauth2 access log.

Additional Library

• Webjars on Bootstrap and JQuery
• H2 in memory database
• thymeleaf-extras-springsecurity4 for usage of Spring Security authentication library on thymeleaf.
