OAuth 2.0 Cookbook

OAuth 2.0 Foundations

This chapter covers the following recipes:

  • Preparing the environment
  • Reading the user's contacts from Facebook on the client side
  • Reading the user's contacts from Facebook on the server side
  • Accessing OAuth 2.0 LinkedIn protected resources
  • Accessing OAuth 2.0 Google protected resources bound to the user's session

Introduction

The main purpose of this chapter is to help you integrate with popular web applications and social media, although at the same time allow you to get familiarized with the foundational principles of OAuth 2.0 specification.

Before diving into the recipes for several use cases, let's look at the big picture of the most scenarios which will be covered. This will give you the opportunity to review some important concepts about OAuth 2.0 specification so we can stay on the same page with the terminologies used throughout the book.

The preceding diagram shows the four main components of the OAuth 2.0 specification:

  • Resource Owner
  • Authorization Server
  • Resource Server
  • Client

Just to review the purpose of these components, remember that the Resource Owner is the user which delegates authority for third-party applications to use resources on its behalf. The third-party application mentioned is represented by the client which I depicted as Mobile client and Web Client. The user's resources are usually maintained and protected by the Resource Server which might be implemented together with the Authorization Server as a single component, for example. The composition of the Authorization Server and Resource Server are referred to as the OAuth 2.0 Provider to simplify the terminology given to the application which is protected by OAuth 2.0.

Key benefits

  • •Interact with public OAuth 2.0 protected APIs such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Google.
  • •Use Spring Security and Spring Security OAuth2 to implement your own OAuth 2.0 provider
  • •Learn how to implement OAuth 2.0 native mobile clients for Android applications

Description

OAuth 2.0 is a standard protocol for authorization and focuses on client development simplicity while providing specific authorization flows for web applications, desktop applications, mobile phones, and so on. This book also provides useful recipes for solving real-life problems using Spring Security and creating Android applications. The book starts by presenting you how to interact with some public OAuth 2.0 protected APIs such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Google. You will also be able to implement your own OAuth 2.0 provider with Spring Security OAuth2. Next, the book will cover practical scenarios regarding some important OAuth 2.0 profiles such as Dynamic Client Registration, Token Introspection and how to revoke issued access tokens. You will then be introduced to the usage of JWT, OpenID Connect, and how to safely implement native mobile OAuth 2.0 Clients. By the end of this book, you will be able to ensure that both the server and client are protected against common vulnerabilities.

Who is this book for?

This book targets software engineers and security experts who are looking to develop their skills in API security and OAuth 2.0. Prior programming knowledge and a basic understanding of developing web applications are necessary. As this book's recipes mostly use Spring Security and Spring Security OAuth2, some prior experience with Spring Framework will be helpful.

What you will learn

  • •Use Redis and relational databases to store issued access tokens and refresh tokens
  • •Access resources protected by the OAuth2 Provider using Spring Security
  • •Implement a web application that dynamically registers itself to the Authorization Server
  • •Improve the safety of your mobile client using dynamic client registration
  • •Protect your Android client with Proof Key for Code Exchange
  • •Protect the Authorization Server from invalid redirection

Gross. Unless you plan to deploy with this java Spring framework I doubt you'll find much generally useful here.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
