= OAuth 2.0 Resource Server JWT
:figures: servlet/oauth2

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-minimaldependencies]]
== Minimal Dependencies for JWT

Most Resource Server support is collected into `spring-security-oauth2-resource-server`.
However, the support for decoding and verifying JWTs is in `spring-security-oauth2-jose`, meaning that both are necessary in order to have a working resource server that supports JWT-encoded Bearer Tokens.

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-minimalconfiguration]]
== Minimal Configuration for JWTs

When using https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot[Spring Boot], configuring an application as a resource server consists of two basic steps.
First, include the needed dependencies and second, indicate the location of the authorization server.

=== Specifying the Authorization Server

In a Spring Boot application, to specify which authorization server to use, simply do:

[source,yml]
----
spring:
  security:
    oauth2:
      resourceserver:
        jwt:
          issuer-uri: https://idp.example.com/issuer
----

Where `https://idp.example.com/issuer` is the value contained in the `iss` claim for JWT tokens that the authorization server will issue.
Resource Server will use this property to further self-configure, discover the authorization server's public keys, and subsequently validate incoming JWTs.

[NOTE]
To use the `issuer-uri` property, it must also be true that one of `https://idp.example.com/issuer/.well-known/openid-configuration`, `https://idp.example.com/.well-known/openid-configuration/issuer`, or `https://idp.example.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server/issuer` is a supported endpoint for the authorization server.
This endpoint is referred to as a https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-discovery-1_0.html#ProviderConfig[Provider Configuration] endpoint or a https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8414#section-3[Authorization Server Metadata] endpoint.

And that's it!

=== Startup Expectations

When this property and these dependencies are used, Resource Server will automatically configure itself to validate JWT-encoded Bearer Tokens.

It achieves this through a deterministic startup process:

1. Query the Provider Configuration or Authorization Server Metadata endpoint for the `jwks_url` property
2. Query the `jwks_url` endpoint for supported algorithms
3. Configure the validation strategy to query `jwks_url` for valid public keys of the algorithms found
4. Configure the validation strategy to validate each JWTs `iss` claim against `https://idp.example.com`.

A consequence of this process is that the authorization server must be up and receiving requests in order for Resource Server to successfully start up.

[NOTE]
If the authorization server is down when Resource Server queries it (given appropriate timeouts), then startup will fail.

=== Runtime Expectations

Once the application is started up, Resource Server will attempt to process any request containing an `Authorization: Bearer` header:

[source,html]
----
GET / HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer some-token-value # Resource Server will process this
----

So long as this scheme is indicated, Resource Server will attempt to process the request according to the Bearer Token specification.

Given a well-formed JWT, Resource Server will:

1. Validate its signature against a public key obtained from the `jwks_url` endpoint during startup and matched against the JWT
2. Validate the JWT's `exp` and `nbf` timestamps and the JWT's `iss` claim, and
3. Map each scope to an authority with the prefix `SCOPE_`.

[NOTE]
As the authorization server makes available new keys, Spring Security will automatically rotate the keys used to validate JWTs.

The resulting `Authentication#getPrincipal`, by default, is a Spring Security `Jwt` object, and `Authentication#getName` maps to the JWT's `sub` property, if one is present.

From here, consider jumping to:

* <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-architecture,How JWT Authentication Works>>
* <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-jwkseturi,How to Configure without tying Resource Server startup to an authorization server's availability>>
* <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-sansboot,How to Configure without Spring Boot>>

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-architecture]]
== How JWT Authentication Works

Next, let's see the architectural components that Spring Security uses to support https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519[JWT] Authentication in servlet-based applications, like the one we just saw.

{security-api-url}org/springframework/security/oauth2/server/resource/authentication/JwtAuthenticationProvider.html[`JwtAuthenticationProvider`] is an xref:servlet/authentication/architecture.adoc#servlet-authentication-authenticationprovider[`AuthenticationProvider`] implementation that leverages a <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-decoder,`JwtDecoder`>> and <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-authorization-extraction,`JwtAuthenticationConverter`>> to authenticate a JWT.

Let's take a look at how `JwtAuthenticationProvider` works within Spring Security.
The figure explains details of how the xref:servlet/authentication/architecture.adoc#servlet-authentication-authenticationmanager[`AuthenticationManager`] in figures from <<oauth2resourceserver-authentication-bearertokenauthenticationfilter,Reading the Bearer Token>> works.

.`JwtAuthenticationProvider` Usage
image::{figures}/jwtauthenticationprovider.png[]

image:{icondir}/number_1.png[] The authentication `Filter` from <<oauth2resourceserver-authentication-bearertokenauthenticationfilter,Reading the Bearer Token>> passes a `BearerTokenAuthenticationToken` to the `AuthenticationManager` which is implemented by xref:servlet/authentication/architecture.adoc#servlet-authentication-providermanager[`ProviderManager`].

image:{icondir}/number_2.png[] The `ProviderManager` is configured to use an xref:servlet/authentication/architecture.adoc#servlet-authentication-authenticationprovider[AuthenticationProvider] of type `JwtAuthenticationProvider`.

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-architecture-jwtdecoder]]
image:{icondir}/number_3.png[] `JwtAuthenticationProvider` decodes, verifies, and validates the `Jwt` using a <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-decoder,`JwtDecoder`>>.

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-architecture-jwtauthenticationconverter]]
image:{icondir}/number_4.png[] `JwtAuthenticationProvider` then uses the <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-authorization-extraction,`JwtAuthenticationConverter`>> to convert the `Jwt` into a `Collection` of granted authorities.

image:{icondir}/number_5.png[] When authentication is successful, the xref:servlet/authentication/architecture.adoc#servlet-authentication-authentication[`Authentication`] that is returned is of type `JwtAuthenticationToken` and has a principal that is the `Jwt` returned by the configured `JwtDecoder`.
Ultimately, the returned `JwtAuthenticationToken` will be set on the xref:servlet/authentication/architecture.adoc#servlet-authentication-securitycontextholder[`SecurityContextHolder`] by the authentication `Filter`.

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-jwkseturi]]
== Specifying the Authorization Server JWK Set Uri Directly

If the authorization server doesn't support any configuration endpoints, or if Resource Server must be able to start up independently from the authorization server, then the `jwk-set-uri` can be supplied as well:

[source,yaml]
----
spring:
  security:
    oauth2:
      resourceserver:
        jwt:
          issuer-uri: https://idp.example.com
          jwk-set-uri: https://idp.example.com/.well-known/jwks.json
----

[NOTE]
The JWK Set uri is not standardized, but can typically be found in the authorization server's documentation

Consequently, Resource Server will not ping the authorization server at startup.
We still specify the `issuer-uri` so that Resource Server still validates the `iss` claim on incoming JWTs.

[NOTE]
This property can also be supplied directly on the <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-jwkseturi-dsl,DSL>>.

== Supplying Audiences

As already seen, the <<_specifying_the_authorization_server, `issuer-uri` property validates the `iss` claim>>; this is who sent the JWT.

Boot also has the `audiences` property for validating the `aud` claim; this is who the JWT was sent to.

A resource server's audience can be indicated like so:

[source,yaml]
----
spring:
  security:
    oauth2:
      resourceserver:
        jwt:
          issuer-uri: https://idp.example.com
          audiences: https://my-resource-server.example.com
----

[NOTE]
You can also add <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-validation-custom, the `aud` validation programmatically>>, if needed.

The result will be that if the JWT's `iss` claim is not `https://idp.example.com`, and its `aud` claim does not contain `https://my-resource-server.example.com` in its list, then validation will fail.

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-sansboot]]
== Overriding or Replacing Boot Auto Configuration

There are two ``@Bean``s that Spring Boot generates on Resource Server's behalf.

The first is a `SecurityFilterChain` that configures the app as a resource server. When including `spring-security-oauth2-jose`, this `SecurityFilterChain` looks like:

.Default JWT Configuration
[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@Bean
public SecurityFilterChain filterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
    http
        .authorizeHttpRequests(authorize -> authorize
            .anyRequest().authenticated()
        )
        .oauth2ResourceServer((oauth2) -> oauth2.jwt(Customizer.withDefaults()));
    return http.build();
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@Bean
open fun filterChain(http: HttpSecurity): SecurityFilterChain {
    http {
        authorizeRequests {
            authorize(anyRequest, authenticated)
        }
        oauth2ResourceServer {
            jwt { }
        }
    }
    return http.build()
}
----
======

If the application doesn't expose a `SecurityFilterChain` bean, then Spring Boot will expose the above default one.

Replacing this is as simple as exposing the bean within the application:

.Custom JWT Configuration
[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
import static org.springframework.security.oauth2.core.authorization.OAuth2AuthorizationManagers.hasScope;

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class MyCustomSecurityConfiguration {
    @Bean
    public SecurityFilterChain filterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http
            .authorizeHttpRequests(authorize -> authorize
                .requestMatchers("/messages/**").access(hasScope("message:read"))
                .anyRequest().authenticated()
            )
            .oauth2ResourceServer(oauth2 -> oauth2
                .jwt(jwt -> jwt
                    .jwtAuthenticationConverter(myConverter())
                )
            );
        return http.build();
    }
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.core.authorization.OAuth2AuthorizationManagers.hasScope

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
class MyCustomSecurityConfiguration {
    @Bean
    open fun filterChain(http: HttpSecurity): SecurityFilterChain {
        http {
            authorizeRequests {
                authorize("/messages/**", hasScope("message:read"))
                authorize(anyRequest, authenticated)
            }
            oauth2ResourceServer {
                jwt {
                    jwtAuthenticationConverter = myConverter()
                }
            }
        }
        return http.build()
    }
}
----
======

The above requires the scope of `message:read` for any URL that starts with `/messages/`.

Methods on the `oauth2ResourceServer` DSL will also override or replace auto configuration.

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-decoder]]
For example, the second `@Bean` Spring Boot creates is a `JwtDecoder`, which <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-architecture-jwtdecoder,decodes `String` tokens into validated instances of `Jwt`>>:

.JWT Decoder
[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@Bean
public JwtDecoder jwtDecoder() {
    return JwtDecoders.fromIssuerLocation(issuerUri);
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@Bean
fun jwtDecoder(): JwtDecoder {
    return JwtDecoders.fromIssuerLocation(issuerUri)
}
----
======

[NOTE]
Calling `{security-api-url}org/springframework/security/oauth2/jwt/JwtDecoders.html#fromIssuerLocation-java.lang.String-[JwtDecoders#fromIssuerLocation]` is what invokes the Provider Configuration or Authorization Server Metadata endpoint in order to derive the JWK Set Uri.

If the application doesn't expose a `JwtDecoder` bean, then Spring Boot will expose the above default one.

And its configuration can be overridden using `jwkSetUri()` or replaced using `decoder()`.

Or, if you're not using Spring Boot at all, then both of these components - the filter chain and a `JwtDecoder` can be specified in XML.

The filter chain is specified like so:

.Default JWT Configuration
[tabs]
======
Xml::
+
[source,xml,role="primary"]
----
<http>
    <intercept-uri pattern="/**" access="authenticated"/>
    <oauth2-resource-server>
        <jwt decoder-ref="jwtDecoder"/>
    </oauth2-resource-server>
</http>
----
======

And the `JwtDecoder` like so:

.JWT Decoder
[tabs]
======
Xml::
+
[source,xml,role="primary"]
----
<bean id="jwtDecoder"
        class="org.springframework.security.oauth2.jwt.JwtDecoders"
        factory-method="fromIssuerLocation">
    <constructor-arg value="${spring.security.oauth2.resourceserver.jwt.jwk-set-uri}"/>
</bean>
----
======

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-jwkseturi-dsl]]
=== Using `jwkSetUri()`

An authorization server's JWK Set Uri can be configured <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-jwkseturi,as a configuration property>> or it can be supplied in the DSL:

.JWK Set Uri Configuration
[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class DirectlyConfiguredJwkSetUri {
    @Bean
    public SecurityFilterChain filterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http
            .authorizeHttpRequests(authorize -> authorize
                .anyRequest().authenticated()
            )
            .oauth2ResourceServer(oauth2 -> oauth2
                .jwt(jwt -> jwt
                    .jwkSetUri("https://idp.example.com/.well-known/jwks.json")
                )
            );
        return http.build();
    }
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
class DirectlyConfiguredJwkSetUri {
    @Bean
    open fun filterChain(http: HttpSecurity): SecurityFilterChain {
        http {
            authorizeRequests {
                authorize(anyRequest, authenticated)
            }
            oauth2ResourceServer {
                jwt {
                    jwkSetUri = "https://idp.example.com/.well-known/jwks.json"
                }
            }
        }
        return http.build()
    }
}
----

Xml::
+
[source,xml,role="secondary"]
----
<http>
    <intercept-uri pattern="/**" access="authenticated"/>
    <oauth2-resource-server>
        <jwt jwk-set-uri="https://idp.example.com/.well-known/jwks.json"/>
    </oauth2-resource-server>
</http>
----
======

Using `jwkSetUri()` takes precedence over any configuration property.

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-decoder-dsl]]
=== Using `decoder()`

More powerful than `jwkSetUri()` is `decoder()`, which will completely replace any Boot auto configuration of <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-architecture-jwtdecoder,`JwtDecoder`>>:

.JWT Decoder Configuration
[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class DirectlyConfiguredJwtDecoder {
    @Bean
    public SecurityFilterChain filterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http
            .authorizeHttpRequests(authorize -> authorize
                .anyRequest().authenticated()
            )
            .oauth2ResourceServer(oauth2 -> oauth2
                .jwt(jwt -> jwt
                    .decoder(myCustomDecoder())
                )
            );
        return http.build();
    }
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
class DirectlyConfiguredJwtDecoder {
    @Bean
    open fun filterChain(http: HttpSecurity): SecurityFilterChain {
        http {
            authorizeRequests {
                authorize(anyRequest, authenticated)
            }
            oauth2ResourceServer {
                jwt {
                    jwtDecoder = myCustomDecoder()
                }
            }
        }
        return http.build()
    }
}
----

Xml::
+
[source,xml,role="secondary"]
----
<http>
    <intercept-uri pattern="/**" access="authenticated"/>
    <oauth2-resource-server>
        <jwt decoder-ref="myCustomDecoder"/>
    </oauth2-resource-server>
</http>
----
======

This is handy when deeper configuration, like <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-validation,validation>>, <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-claimsetmapping,mapping>>, or <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-timeouts,request timeouts>>, is necessary.

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-decoder-bean]]
=== Exposing a `JwtDecoder` `@Bean`

Or, exposing a <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-architecture-jwtdecoder,`JwtDecoder`>> `@Bean` has the same effect as `decoder()`.
You can construct one with a `jwkSetUri` like so:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@Bean
public JwtDecoder jwtDecoder() {
    return NimbusJwtDecoder.withJwkSetUri(jwkSetUri).build();
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@Bean
fun jwtDecoder(): JwtDecoder {
    return NimbusJwtDecoder.withJwkSetUri(jwkSetUri).build()
}
----
======

or you can use the issuer and have `NimbusJwtDecoder` look up the `jwkSetUri` when `build()` is invoked, like the following:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@Bean
public JwtDecoder jwtDecoder() {
    return NimbusJwtDecoder.withIssuerLocation(issuer).build();
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@Bean
fun jwtDecoder(): JwtDecoder {
    return NimbusJwtDecoder.withIssuerLocation(issuer).build()
}
----
======

Or, if the defaults work for you, you can also use `JwtDecoders`, which does the above in addition to configuring the decoder's validator:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@Bean
public JwtDecoders jwtDecoder() {
    return JwtDecoders.fromIssuerLocation(issuer);
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@Bean
fun jwtDecoder(): JwtDecoders {
    return JwtDecoders.fromIssuerLocation(issuer)
}
----
======

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-decoder-algorithm]]
== Configuring Trusted Algorithms

By default, `NimbusJwtDecoder`, and hence Resource Server, will only trust and verify tokens using `RS256`.

You can customize this via <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-boot-algorithm,Spring Boot>>, <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-decoder-builder,the NimbusJwtDecoder builder>>, or from the <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-decoder-jwk-response,JWK Set response>>.

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-boot-algorithm]]
=== Via Spring Boot

The simplest way to set the algorithm is as a property:

[source,yaml]
----
spring:
  security:
    oauth2:
      resourceserver:
        jwt:
          jws-algorithms: RS512
          jwk-set-uri: https://idp.example.org/.well-known/jwks.json
----

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-decoder-builder]]
=== Using a Builder

For greater power, though, we can use a builder that ships with `NimbusJwtDecoder`:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@Bean
JwtDecoder jwtDecoder() {
    return NimbusJwtDecoder.withIssuerLocation(this.issuer)
            .jwsAlgorithm(RS512).build();
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@Bean
fun jwtDecoder(): JwtDecoder {
    return NimbusJwtDecoder.withIssuerLocation(this.issuer)
            .jwsAlgorithm(RS512).build()
}
----
======

Calling `jwsAlgorithm` more than once will configure `NimbusJwtDecoder` to trust more than one algorithm, like so:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@Bean
JwtDecoder jwtDecoder() {
    return NimbusJwtDecoder.withIssuerLocation(this.issuer)
            .jwsAlgorithm(RS512).jwsAlgorithm(ES512).build();
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@Bean
fun jwtDecoder(): JwtDecoder {
    return NimbusJwtDecoder.withIssuerLocation(this.issuer)
            .jwsAlgorithm(RS512).jwsAlgorithm(ES512).build()
}
----
======

Or, you can call `jwsAlgorithms`:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@Bean
JwtDecoder jwtDecoder() {
    return NimbusJwtDecoder.withIssuerLocation(this.issuer)
            .jwsAlgorithms(algorithms -> {
                    algorithms.add(RS512);
                    algorithms.add(ES512);
            }).build();
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@Bean
fun jwtDecoder(): JwtDecoder {
    return NimbusJwtDecoder.withIssuerLocation(this.issuer)
            .jwsAlgorithms {
                it.add(RS512)
                it.add(ES512)
            }.build()
}
----
======

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-decoder-jwk-response]]
=== From JWK Set response

Since Spring Security's JWT support is based off of Nimbus, you can use all it's great features as well.

For example, Nimbus has a `JWSKeySelector` implementation that will select the set of algorithms based on the JWK Set URI response.
You can use it to generate a `NimbusJwtDecoder` like so:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@Bean
public JwtDecoder jwtDecoder() {
    // makes a request to the JWK Set endpoint
    JWSKeySelector<SecurityContext> jwsKeySelector =
            JWSAlgorithmFamilyJWSKeySelector.fromJWKSetURL(this.jwkSetUrl);

    DefaultJWTProcessor<SecurityContext> jwtProcessor =
            new DefaultJWTProcessor<>();
    jwtProcessor.setJWSKeySelector(jwsKeySelector);

    return new NimbusJwtDecoder(jwtProcessor);
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@Bean
fun jwtDecoder(): JwtDecoder {
    // makes a request to the JWK Set endpoint
    val jwsKeySelector: JWSKeySelector<SecurityContext> = JWSAlgorithmFamilyJWSKeySelector.fromJWKSetURL<SecurityContext>(this.jwkSetUrl)
    val jwtProcessor: DefaultJWTProcessor<SecurityContext> = DefaultJWTProcessor()
    jwtProcessor.jwsKeySelector = jwsKeySelector
    return NimbusJwtDecoder(jwtProcessor)
}
----
======

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-decoder-public-key]]
== Trusting a Single Asymmetric Key

Simpler than backing a Resource Server with a JWK Set endpoint is to hard-code an RSA public key.
The public key can be provided via <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-decoder-public-key-boot,Spring Boot>> or by <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-decoder-public-key-builder,Using a Builder>>.

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-decoder-public-key-boot]]
=== Via Spring Boot

Specifying a key via Spring Boot is quite simple.
The key's location can be specified like so:

[source,yaml]
----
spring:
  security:
    oauth2:
      resourceserver:
        jwt:
          public-key-location: classpath:my-key.pub
----

Or, to allow for a more sophisticated lookup, you can post-process the `RsaKeyConversionServicePostProcessor`:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@Bean
BeanFactoryPostProcessor conversionServiceCustomizer() {
    return beanFactory ->
        beanFactory.getBean(RsaKeyConversionServicePostProcessor.class)
                .setResourceLoader(new CustomResourceLoader());
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@Bean
fun conversionServiceCustomizer(): BeanFactoryPostProcessor {
    return BeanFactoryPostProcessor { beanFactory ->
        beanFactory.getBean<RsaKeyConversionServicePostProcessor>()
                .setResourceLoader(CustomResourceLoader())
    }
}
----
======

Specify your key's location:

[source,yaml]
----
key.location: hfds://my-key.pub
----

And then autowire the value:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@Value("${key.location}")
RSAPublicKey key;
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@Value("\${key.location}")
val key: RSAPublicKey? = null
----
======

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-decoder-public-key-builder]]
=== Using a Builder

To wire an `RSAPublicKey` directly, you can simply use the appropriate `NimbusJwtDecoder` builder, like so:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-authorization]]
== Configuring Authorization

A JWT that is issued from an OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server will typically either have a `scope` or `scp` attribute, indicating the scopes (or authorities) it's been granted, for example:

`{ ..., "scope" : "messages contacts"}`

When this is the case, Resource Server will attempt to coerce these scopes into a list of granted authorities, prefixing each scope with the string "SCOPE_".

This means that to protect an endpoint or method with a scope derived from a JWT, the corresponding expressions should include this prefix:

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-authorization-extraction]]
=== Extracting Authorities Manually

However, there are a number of circumstances where this default is insufficient.
For example, some authorization servers don't use the `scope` attribute, but instead have their own custom attribute.
Or, at other times, the resource server may need to adapt the attribute or a composition of attributes into internalized authorities.

To this end, Spring Security ships with `JwtAuthenticationConverter`, which is responsible for <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-architecture-jwtauthenticationconverter,converting a `Jwt` into an `Authentication`>>.
By default, Spring Security will wire the `JwtAuthenticationProvider` with a default instance of `JwtAuthenticationConverter`.

As part of configuring a `JwtAuthenticationConverter`, you can supply a subsidiary converter to go from `Jwt` to a `Collection` of granted authorities.

Let's say that that your authorization server communicates authorities in a custom claim called `authorities`.
In that case, you can configure the claim that <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-architecture-jwtauthenticationconverter,`JwtAuthenticationConverter`>> should inspect, like so:

.Authorities Claim Configuration
[tabs]

Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]

    grantedAuthoritiesConverter.setAuthoritiesClaimName("authorities");

    JwtAuthenticationConverter jwtAuthenticationConverter = new JwtAuthenticationConverter();
    jwtAuthenticationConverter.setJwtGrantedAuthoritiesConverter(grantedAuthoritiesConverter);
    return jwtAuthenticationConverter;
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@Bean
fun jwtAuthenticationConverter(): JwtAuthenticationConverter {
    val grantedAuthoritiesConverter = JwtGrantedAuthoritiesConverter()
    grantedAuthoritiesConverter.setAuthoritiesClaimName("authorities")

    val jwtAuthenticationConverter = JwtAuthenticationConverter()
    jwtAuthenticationConverter.setJwtGrantedAuthoritiesConverter(grantedAuthoritiesConverter)
    return jwtAuthenticationConverter
}
----

Xml::

[source,xml,role="secondary"]

        <jwt jwk-set-uri="https://idp.example.org/.well-known/jwks.json"

        class="org.springframework.security.oauth2.server.resource.authentication.JwtGrantedAuthoritiesConverter">
    <property name="authoritiesClaimName" value="authorities"/>
</bean>
----
======

You can also configure the authority prefix to be different as well.
Instead of prefixing each authority with `SCOPE_`, you can change it to `ROLE_` like so:

.Authorities Prefix Configuration

Java::

    return jwtAuthenticationConverter;
}

    return jwtAuthenticationConverter
}

        class="org.springframework.security.oauth2.server.resource.authentication.JwtGrantedAuthoritiesConverter">
    <property name="authorityPrefix" value="ROLE_"/>

----
======

Or, you can remove the prefix altogether by calling `JwtGrantedAuthoritiesConverter#setAuthorityPrefix("")`.

For more flexibility, the DSL supports entirely replacing the converter with any class that implements `Converter<Jwt, AbstractAuthenticationToken>`:

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-validation]]
== Configuring Validation

Using <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-minimalconfiguration,minimal Spring Boot configuration>>, indicating the authorization server's issuer uri, Resource Server will default to verifying the `iss` claim as well as the `exp` and `nbf` timestamp claims.

In circumstances where validation needs to be customized, Resource Server ships with two standard validators and also accepts custom `OAuth2TokenValidator` instances.

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-validation-clockskew]]
=== Customizing Timestamp Validation

JWT's typically have a window of validity, with the start of the window indicated in the `nbf` claim and the end indicated in the `exp` claim.

However, every server can experience clock drift, which can cause tokens to appear expired to one server, but not to another.
This can cause some implementation heartburn as the number of collaborating servers increases in a distributed system.

Resource Server uses `JwtTimestampValidator` to verify a token's validity window, and it can be configured with a `clockSkew` to alleviate the above problem:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@Bean
JwtDecoder jwtDecoder() {
     NimbusJwtDecoder jwtDecoder = (NimbusJwtDecoder)
             JwtDecoders.fromIssuerLocation(issuerUri);

     OAuth2TokenValidator<Jwt> withClockSkew = new DelegatingOAuth2TokenValidator<>(
            new JwtTimestampValidator(Duration.ofSeconds(60)),
            new JwtIssuerValidator(issuerUri));

     jwtDecoder.setJwtValidator(withClockSkew);

     return jwtDecoder;
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@Bean
fun jwtDecoder(): JwtDecoder {
    val jwtDecoder: NimbusJwtDecoder = JwtDecoders.fromIssuerLocation(issuerUri) as NimbusJwtDecoder

    val withClockSkew: OAuth2TokenValidator<Jwt> = DelegatingOAuth2TokenValidator(
            JwtTimestampValidator(Duration.ofSeconds(60)),
            JwtIssuerValidator(issuerUri))

    jwtDecoder.setJwtValidator(withClockSkew)

    return jwtDecoder
}
----
======

[NOTE]
By default, Resource Server configures a clock skew of 60 seconds.

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-validation-custom]]
=== Configuring a Custom Validator

Adding a check for <<_supplying_audiences, the `aud` claim>> is simple with the `OAuth2TokenValidator` API:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
OAuth2TokenValidator<Jwt> audienceValidator() {
    return new JwtClaimValidator<List<String>>(AUD, aud -> aud.contains("messaging"));
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
fun audienceValidator(): OAuth2TokenValidator<Jwt?> {
    return JwtClaimValidator<List<String>>(AUD) { aud -> aud.contains("messaging") }
}
----
======

Or, for more control you can implement your own `OAuth2TokenValidator`:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
static class AudienceValidator implements OAuth2TokenValidator<Jwt> {
    OAuth2Error error = new OAuth2Error("custom_code", "Custom error message", null);

    @Override
    public OAuth2TokenValidatorResult validate(Jwt jwt) {
        if (jwt.getAudience().contains("messaging")) {
            return OAuth2TokenValidatorResult.success();
        } else {
            return OAuth2TokenValidatorResult.failure(error);
        }
    }
}

// ...

OAuth2TokenValidator<Jwt> audienceValidator() {
    return new AudienceValidator();
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
internal class AudienceValidator : OAuth2TokenValidator<Jwt> {
    var error: OAuth2Error = OAuth2Error("custom_code", "Custom error message", null)

    override fun validate(jwt: Jwt): OAuth2TokenValidatorResult {
        return if (jwt.audience.contains("messaging")) {
            OAuth2TokenValidatorResult.success()
        } else {
            OAuth2TokenValidatorResult.failure(error)
        }
    }
}

// ...

fun audienceValidator(): OAuth2TokenValidator<Jwt> {
    return AudienceValidator()
}
----
======

Then, to add into a resource server, it's a matter of specifying the <<oauth2resourceserver-jwt-architecture-jwtdecoder,`JwtDecoder`>> instance:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@Bean
JwtDecoder jwtDecoder() {
    NimbusJwtDecoder jwtDecoder = (NimbusJwtDecoder)
        JwtDecoders.fromIssuerLocation(issuerUri);

    OAuth2TokenValidator<Jwt> audienceValidator = audienceValidator();
    OAuth2TokenValidator<Jwt> withIssuer = JwtValidators.createDefaultWithIssuer(issuerUri);
    OAuth2TokenValidator<Jwt> withAudience = new DelegatingOAuth2TokenValidator<>(withIssuer, audienceValidator);

    jwtDecoder.setJwtValidator(withAudience);

    return jwtDecoder;
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@Bean
fun jwtDecoder(): JwtDecoder {
    val jwtDecoder: NimbusJwtDecoder = JwtDecoders.fromIssuerLocation(issuerUri) as NimbusJwtDecoder

    val audienceValidator = audienceValidator()
    val withIssuer: OAuth2TokenValidator<Jwt> = JwtValidators.createDefaultWithIssuer(issuerUri)
    val withAudience: OAuth2TokenValidator<Jwt> = DelegatingOAuth2TokenValidator(withIssuer, audienceValidator)

    jwtDecoder.setJwtValidator(withAudience)

    return jwtDecoder
}
----
======

[TIP]
As stated earlier, you can instead <<_supplying_audiences, configure `aud` validation in Boot>>.

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-claimsetmapping]]
== Configuring Claim Set Mapping

Spring Security uses the https://bitbucket.org/connect2id/nimbus-jose-jwt/wiki/Home[Nimbus] library for parsing JWTs and validating their signatures.
Consequently, Spring Security is subject to Nimbus's interpretation of each field value and how to coerce each into a Java type.

For example, because Nimbus remains Java 7 compatible, it doesn't use `Instant` to represent timestamp fields.

And it's entirely possible to use a different library or for JWT processing, which may make its own coercion decisions that need adjustment.

Or, quite simply, a resource server may want to add or remove claims from a JWT for domain-specific reasons.

For these purposes, Resource Server supports mapping the JWT claim set with `MappedJwtClaimSetConverter`.

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-claimsetmapping-singleclaim]]
=== Customizing the Conversion of a Single Claim

By default, `MappedJwtClaimSetConverter` will attempt to coerce claims into the following types:

|============
| Claim | Java Type
| `aud` | `Collection<String>`
| `exp` | `Instant`
| `iat` | `Instant`
| `iss` | `String`
| `jti` | `String`
| `nbf` | `Instant`
| `sub` | `String`
|============

An individual claim's conversion strategy can be configured using `MappedJwtClaimSetConverter.withDefaults`:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@Bean
JwtDecoder jwtDecoder() {
    NimbusJwtDecoder jwtDecoder = NimbusJwtDecoder.withIssuerLocation(issuer).build();

    MappedJwtClaimSetConverter converter = MappedJwtClaimSetConverter
            .withDefaults(Collections.singletonMap("sub", this::lookupUserIdBySub));
    jwtDecoder.setClaimSetConverter(converter);

    return jwtDecoder;
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@Bean
fun jwtDecoder(): JwtDecoder {
    val jwtDecoder = NimbusJwtDecoder.withIssuerLocation(issuer).build()

    val converter = MappedJwtClaimSetConverter
            .withDefaults(mapOf("sub" to this::lookupUserIdBySub))
    jwtDecoder.setClaimSetConverter(converter)

    return jwtDecoder
}
----
======
This will keep all the defaults, except it will override the default claim converter for `sub`.

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-claimsetmapping-add]]
=== Adding a Claim

`MappedJwtClaimSetConverter` can also be used to add a custom claim, for example, to adapt to an existing system:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
MappedJwtClaimSetConverter.withDefaults(Collections.singletonMap("custom", custom -> "value"));
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
MappedJwtClaimSetConverter.withDefaults(mapOf("custom" to Converter<Any, String> { "value" }))
----
======

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-claimsetmapping-remove]]
=== Removing a Claim

And removing a claim is also simple, using the same API:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
MappedJwtClaimSetConverter.withDefaults(Collections.singletonMap("legacyclaim", legacy -> null));
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
MappedJwtClaimSetConverter.withDefaults(mapOf("legacyclaim" to Converter<Any, Any> { null }))
----
======

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-claimsetmapping-rename]]
=== Renaming a Claim

In more sophisticated scenarios, like consulting multiple claims at once or renaming a claim, Resource Server accepts any class that implements `Converter<Map<String, Object>, Map<String,Object>>`:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
public class UsernameSubClaimAdapter implements Converter<Map<String, Object>, Map<String, Object>> {
    private final MappedJwtClaimSetConverter delegate =
            MappedJwtClaimSetConverter.withDefaults(Collections.emptyMap());

    public Map<String, Object> convert(Map<String, Object> claims) {
        Map<String, Object> convertedClaims = this.delegate.convert(claims);

        String username = (String) convertedClaims.get("user_name");
        convertedClaims.put("sub", username);

        return convertedClaims;
    }
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
class UsernameSubClaimAdapter : Converter<Map<String, Any?>, Map<String, Any?>> {
    private val delegate = MappedJwtClaimSetConverter.withDefaults(Collections.emptyMap())
    override fun convert(claims: Map<String, Any?>): Map<String, Any?> {
        val convertedClaims = delegate.convert(claims)
        val username = convertedClaims["user_name"] as String
        convertedClaims["sub"] = username
        return convertedClaims
    }
}
----
======

And then, the instance can be supplied like normal:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@Bean
JwtDecoder jwtDecoder() {
    NimbusJwtDecoder jwtDecoder = NimbusJwtDecoder.withIssuerLocation(issuer).build();
    jwtDecoder.setClaimSetConverter(new UsernameSubClaimAdapter());
    return jwtDecoder;
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@Bean
fun jwtDecoder(): JwtDecoder {
    val jwtDecoder: NimbusJwtDecoder = NimbusJwtDecoder.withIssuerLocation(issuer).build()
    jwtDecoder.setClaimSetConverter(UsernameSubClaimAdapter())
    return jwtDecoder
}
----
======

[[oauth2resourceserver-jwt-timeouts]]
== Configuring Timeouts

By default, Resource Server uses connection and socket timeouts of 30 seconds each for coordinating with the authorization server.

This may be too short in some scenarios.
Further, it doesn't take into account more sophisticated patterns like back-off and discovery.

To adjust the way in which Resource Server connects to the authorization server, `NimbusJwtDecoder` accepts an instance of `RestOperations`:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@Bean
public JwtDecoder jwtDecoder(RestTemplateBuilder builder) {
    RestOperations rest = builder
            .setConnectTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(60))
            .setReadTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(60))
            .build();

    NimbusJwtDecoder jwtDecoder = NimbusJwtDecoder.withIssuerLocation(issuer).restOperations(rest).build();
    return jwtDecoder;
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@Bean
fun jwtDecoder(builder: RestTemplateBuilder): JwtDecoder {
    val rest: RestOperations = builder
            .setConnectTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(60))
            .setReadTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(60))
            .build()
    return NimbusJwtDecoder.withIssuerLocation(issuer).restOperations(rest).build()
}
----
======

Also by default, Resource Server caches in-memory the authorization server's JWK set for 5 minutes, which you may want to adjust.
Further, it doesn't take into account more sophisticated caching patterns like eviction or using a shared cache.

To adjust the way in which Resource Server caches the JWK set, `NimbusJwtDecoder` accepts an instance of `Cache`:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@Bean
public JwtDecoder jwtDecoder(CacheManager cacheManager) {
    return NimbusJwtDecoder.withIssuerLocation(issuer)
            .cache(cacheManager.getCache("jwks"))
            .build();
}
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@Bean
fun jwtDecoder(cacheManager: CacheManager): JwtDecoder {
    return NimbusJwtDecoder.withIssuerLocation(issuer)
            .cache(cacheManager.getCache("jwks"))
            .build()
}
----
======

When given a `Cache`, Resource Server will use the JWK Set Uri as the key and the JWK Set JSON as the value.

NOTE: Spring isn't a cache provider, so you'll need to make sure to include the appropriate dependencies, like `spring-boot-starter-cache` and your favorite caching provider.

NOTE: Whether it's socket or cache timeouts, you may instead want to work with Nimbus directly.
To do so, remember that `NimbusJwtDecoder` ships with a constructor that takes Nimbus's `JWTProcessor`.
