OAuth 2.0 is an industry-standard protocol for authorization that allows secure access to resources without exposing user credentials

What is OAuth2?

OAuth2 allows applications to authenticate users via third-party providers like Google, Facebook, GitHub, and Keycloak without sharing passwords.

✅ Authorization Code Flow (Most Secure)

✅ Client Credentials Flow (For machine-to-machine authentication)

✅ Password Grant Flow (Deprecated – Use Authorization Code)

✅ Implicit Flow (Deprecated – Use PKCE)

Add OAuth2 Dependencies:

Include the necessary dependencies in pom.xml:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-oauth2-client</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>

Configure OAuth2 Providers:

create access key and secret from google for goole login and paste in application.properties

application.properties
#google Oauth2 credentials
spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.google.client-id=874105057-9q8tgp7raiqbv749pfiqktpnq1cmgd8.apps.googleusercontent.com
spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.google.client-secret=GOCSX-uXkDADlMzl_-4FOBJ2q6PSdwGgj

Implement Security Configuration

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.config.Customizer;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.web.SecurityFilterChain;

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfig {
public SecurityFilterChain securityFilterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.authorizeHttpRequests(auth->auth.anyRequest().authenticated())
.oauth2Login(Customizer.withDefaults());

return http.build();
}
}

Create a Simple Controller

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/")
public class AuthController {
@GetMapping("/hello")
public String greet(){
return "Hello world";
}
}

Get Route  GET:http://localhost:8080/hello
