Issue
I currently want to secure my microservice architecture with a Spring Cloud Gateway. There is FrontEnd which authenticates itself to a Keycloak server and then sends the token with every request. Now it is the case that only the gateway should be exposed to the outside and the individual services will not be accessible from the outside.
How can I validate the bearer token at the keycloak server?
I have searched the internet for some time but have not found anything yet where the token has been validated. Everywhere the authentication was done via the gateway and then the token was validated by the individual services. However, when I declare the gateway as an OAuth2 resource server, the whole thing does not work.
Solution
I managed to get It to work.
My security config look as follows:
@Configuration
@EnableWebFluxSecurity
public class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
public SecurityWebFilterChain springSecurityFilterChain(ServerHttpSecurity http) {
http.authorizeExchange(exchanges -> exchanges.anyExchange().authenticated())
.oauth2ResourceServer().jwt();
http.csrf().disable();
return http.build();
}
}
Moreover but don't necessary I added a CorsFilter:
@Configuration
public class PreFlightCorsConfiguration {
@Bean
public CorsWebFilter corsFilter() {
return new CorsWebFilter(corsConfigurationSource());
}
@Bean
CorsConfigurationSource corsConfigurationSource() {
final UrlBasedCorsConfigurationSource source = new UrlBasedCorsConfigurationSource();
CorsConfiguration config = new CorsConfiguration().applyPermitDefaultValues();
config.addAllowedMethod( HttpMethod.GET);
config.addAllowedMethod( HttpMethod.PUT);
config.addAllowedMethod( HttpMethod.POST);
config.addAllowedMethod( HttpMethod.OPTIONS);
config.addAllowedMethod(HttpMethod.DELETE);
source.registerCorsConfiguration("/**", config);
return source;
}
}
And the security dependencys I use are:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-oauth2-client</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-oauth2-resource-server</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-security</artifactId>
<version>2.2.5.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
