Spring boot 2.0.3 + Security + Oauth2 autoconfigure

Question

I'm working with OAuth2 and microservices, I've created a microservice to generate the authorization tokens and another microservice as a client. Generation of tokens is working, but when I try to use this generated token on the client service to authenticate, it is not working.

Microservice that generates the tokens: localhost:9999

Token generated with url: estrutura:estruturasecret@localhost:9999/oauth/token

   [
       {
          "key":"grant_type",
          "value":"password"
       },
       {
          "key":"username",
          "value":"matheus"
       },
       {
          "key":"password",
          "value":"teste"
       },
       {
          "key":"client_id",
          "value":"estrutura"
       }
    ]

return:

 {
        "access_token": "2e4c26b3-0fcf-493e-a255-6216b98811c5",
        "token_type": "bearer",
        "refresh_token": "5e33740a-ccb9-4ec1-94be-3a4643b8097a",
        "expires_in": 42479,
        "scope": "read write"
    }

Customer Microservice: localhost:9090

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableResourceServer
public class ClientServer {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      SpringApplication.run(ClientServer.class, args);
   }

I tried to replicate your use case: I develop an AuthServer with spring cloud security and an ResourceServer. The problem that I see using token-info-uri strategy is that spring in order to check the token use a RemoteTokenServices and it use a OAuth2RestTemplate in order to retrieve the token information said that if you want use the your configuration you have insert this kind of configuration like below:

@EnableOAuth2Client
@EnableResourceServer
@SpringBootApplication
public class HelloOauthServiceApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(HelloOauthServiceApplication.class, args);
    }

    @Bean
    public OAuth2RestTemplate oAuth2RestTemplate(OAuth2ProtectedResourceDetails resource){
        return new OAuth2RestTemplate(resource);
    }
}

Pay attention to @EnableOAuth2Client and OAuth2RestTemplate bean definition. Those configuration are used by spring in order to valid and refresh your token.

However in this way any resource server must be also a client application and in my experience it do not scale. My personal advice is to use the user-info-uri strategy. In this case spring will use a special endpoint in order to retrieve the user information. the configuration is very simple in your resource server you have define only @EnableResourceServer like in your example in your yaml you can configure only the resource part like below

security:
  oauth2:
    resource:
     user-info-uri: http://localhost:9090/account/userInfo.json
     preferTokenInfo: false

The only additional develop is in your auth server that have to expose the user info in an endpoint like below:

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/account")
class UserRestFullEndPoint {

    @GetMapping("/userInfo")
    public Principal userInfo(Principal principal){
        return principal;
    }
}

I use this approach many times and I noted that it works very well and scale because in your resource servers you do not have define it like also a client app.

I hope that it may be useful.

PS: in your config you have forgot the http protocol:

server:
  port: 9090
  servlet:
    context-path: /client
    spring:
      application:
        name: client-server
      security:
        oauth2:
          client:
            client-id: estrutura
            client-secret: estruturasecret
            access-token-uri: http://localhost:9999/oauth/token
            user-authorization-uri: http://localhost:9999/oauth/authorize
          resource:
            token-info-uri: http://localhost:9999/oauth/check_token
    logging:
      level:
        org.springframework.security: DEBUG
