Sample application demonstrating Auth0 and spring security integration for a Java Spring MVC application

This is a companion sample for the Auth0 Spring Security MVC library. Please refer to that library and documentation for further information specific to the library itself.

This sample application shows you how to:

  1. Configure and run Java based Spring application with Auth0 (Lock or Auth0.js) and Spring Security
  2. 100% Java Configuration (Annotations)
  3. Secure one or more URL endpoints with Role / Authority based permissions (ROLE_USER, ROLE_ADMIN etc)
  4. Secure Java Services using method level security annotations for role based access control
  5. Use Spring Security JSTL tag library to add role level security to your JSP pages.

In addition to this sample for Auth0 and Spring Security integration, if you are additionally interested in having Single Sign-On (SSO) between Java Spring Security configured applications, then please take a look at our auth0-spring-security-mvc-sso-sample

Let's get started - it only takes a few minutes to have a working application with all the above.

Prerequisites

In order to run this example you will need to have Java 7+ and Maven installed.

Check that your maven version is 3.0.x or above:

mvn -v

Setup

Create an Auth0 Account (if not already done so - free!).

From the Auth0 Dashboard

Create an application - for the purposes of this sample - app

Ensure you add the following to the settings.

Allowed Callback URL:

http://localhost:3099/callback

Ensure you add the following to the settings.

Allowed Logout URLs:

http://localhost:3099/logout

Add one or more connections to your application - for instance Google Social Connection, or username-password DB connection.

Add Role Based Authorization By Creating an Auth0 Rule

Since this sample applies Role based authorization on the Home Page (defaults to requiring ROLE_ADMIN), go to Rules and create the following new Rule:

function (user, context, callback) {
  user.app_metadata = user.app_metadata || {};
  // You can add a Role based on what you want
  // Here, we simply check domain
  var addRolesToUser = function(user, cb) {
    if (user.email.indexOf('@gmail.com') > -1) {
      cb(null, ['ROLE_ADMIN']);
   } else if (user.email.indexOf('@auth0.com') > -1) {
      cb(null, ['ROLE_ADMIN']);
    } else {
      cb(null, ['ROLE_USER']);
    }
  };

  addRolesToUser(user, function(err, roles) {
    if (err) {
      callback(err);
    } else {
      user.app_metadata.roles = roles;
      auth0.users.updateAppMetadata(user.user_id, user.app_metadata)
        .then(function(){
          callback(null, user, context);
        })
        .catch(function(err){
          callback(err);
        });
    }
  });
}

In our simple Rule above, we add ROLE_ADMIN to any user profiles whose email addresses are gmail.com and auth0.com domains. Otherwise, we only provide ROLE_USER role. Our Spring Security Sample app will read this information from the UserProfile and apply the granted authorities when checking authorization access to secured endpoints configured with Role based permissions

Here is our sample AppConfig entry where we specify the endpoints security settings - defined in AppConfig.java

  // Apply the Authentication and Authorization Strategies your application endpoints require
        http
                .authorizeRequests()
                .antMatchers("/css/**", "/fonts/**", "/js/**", "/login").permitAll()
                .antMatchers("/portal/**").hasAnyAuthority("ROLE_USER", "ROLE_ADMIN")
//                .antMatchers("/portal/**").hasAuthority("ROLE_ADMIN")
                .antMatchers(getSecuredRoute()).authenticated();

Here, we only allow users with ROLE_USER or ROLE_ADMIN to access the home page.

Inside the Application - update configuration information

Enter your:

client_id, client_secret, and domain information into src/main/resources/auth0.properties

Note: There are two properties in auth0.properties that you do not need to touch. Leave values as false

auth0.servletFilterEnabled: false - this ensures we don't autowire the ServletFilter defined in an Auth0 dependency library.

auth0.defaultAuth0WebSecurityEnabled: false - this ensures we do not autowire the default configuration file provided with the auth0-spring-security-mvc library itself. That is a default configuration suitable only for simpler applications seeking to have an out of the box secured endpoint URL - similar to auth0-servlet library.

For details on the other settings, please check the README for the library this sample depends on Auth0 Spring Security MVC. In particular, this section on defalut configuration which lists each property together with a description on its purpose.

Build and Run

In order to build and run the project execute:

mvn spring-boot:run

Then, go to http://localhost:3099/login.


Screenshots of the overall flow (minus growler notifications):

1.Login

2. Home - logged in user has ROLE_USER level authority

3. Home - logged in user has ROLE_ADMIN level authority
