I am new to the micro-services architecture , I am building application using SpringBoot and wanted to add JWT auth for my APIs .
Ref link : https://dzone.com/articles/spring-boot-security-json-web-tokenjwt-hello-world
I was wondering if I should separate out the authentication / authorization code from the business-micro-service(BMS) . So each time a rest API call to BMS would in turn call the auth-microservice for validation . Would this be a good practice or would it be a lot on the network traffic ?
Calls might look like :
Client -> BusinessApp -> AuthMS -> Business App -> Client
The reason of separating it out is that there is some configuration and code that would not look good coupled with business app , but I am unsure of the network cost it would take for each API call.
Example code in JWT app which would make sense to be in different service / server running ? :
import java.util.Objects;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.security.authentication.AuthenticationManager;
import org.springframework.security.authentication.BadCredentialsException;
import org.springframework.security.authentication.DisabledException;
import org.springframework.security.authentication.UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetails;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.CrossOrigin;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import com.javainuse.service.JwtUserDetailsService;
import com.javainuse.config.JwtTokenUtil;
import com.javainuse.model.JwtRequest;
import com.javainuse.model.JwtResponse;
@RestController
@CrossOrigin
public class JwtAuthenticationController {
@Autowired
private AuthenticationManager authenticationManager;
@Autowired
private JwtTokenUtil jwtTokenUtil;
@Autowired
private JwtUserDetailsService userDetailsService;
@RequestMapping(value = "/authenticate", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ResponseEntity<?> createAuthenticationToken(@RequestBody JwtRequest authenticationRequest) throws Exception {
authenticate(authenticationRequest.getUsername(), authenticationRequest.getPassword());
final UserDetails userDetails = userDetailsService
.loadUserByUsername(authenticationRequest.getUsername());
final String token = jwtTokenUtil.generateToken(userDetails);
return ResponseEntity.ok(new JwtResponse(token));
}
private void authenticate(String username, String password) throws Exception {
try {
authenticationManager.authenticate(new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(username, password));
} catch (DisabledException e) {
throw new Exception("USER_DISABLED", e);
} catch (BadCredentialsException e) {
throw new Exception("INVALID_CREDENTIALS", e);
}
}
}
