Jwt-SpringBoot

Implementing JWT authentication with spring boot.

Normally you would create an endpoint to create the credentials(token),

then this token is passed to other requests in the headers(Authorization: Bearer {token})

• Step 1.
  • create token:
    • url -> localhost:8080/auth/generate
    • There needs to be a user in the backened from db,oauth,azure,aws etc, so the user details is then passed e.g (username, password)
    • {"username":"user","password":"5H5_ECC@F][^gtQeu:d,&$sAx>,+EN"}
      • response. has the jwt token to he passed to other requests.
        • {"access_token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1c2VyIiwiaWF0IjoxNjQyODU0NjY0LCJleHAiOjE2NDI4NTUyNjR9.gD04xuNKVsvZX1DrvTNKDArL3RzcSSmKVRltiQNuLcw","expires_in": 600000}
• Step 2.
  • Pass the token in headers on req 2. localhost:8080/greet/
    • headers Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1c2VyIiwiaWF0IjoxNjQyODU0NjY0LCJleHAiOjE2NDI4NTUyNjR9.gD04xuNKVsvZX1DrvTNKDArL3RzcSSmKVRltiQNuLcw
