First I’d like to emphasize the difference between authentication and authorization: A user authenticates to your web site by supplying some credential such as a username+password. OpenID allows this to be displaced by having the user authenticate to another service, which then asserts the user’s identity to your web site on the user’s behalf. Your … Read more
After digging manually through the configuration classes I was able to find and add the following, which did the trick… security.oauth2.client.pre-established-redirect-uri=https://[application_host]/login security.oauth2.client.registered-redirect-uri=https://[application_host]/login security.oauth2.client.use-current-uri=false I’m not convinced there isn’t a better way to solve the problem of forcing a HTTPS redirect URL, but this fix worked for me.

It is introduced from OAuth 2.0 protocol RFC6749. Protocol states that, Once authorization has been obtained from the end-user, the authorization … Read more

If you read it stated plainly, I would understand your confusion. So let’s go with a … Read more
Here are my thoughts: The purpose of auth code + token in authorization code flow is that token and client secret will never be exposed to resource owner because they travel server-to-server. On the other side, implicit grant flow is for clients that are implemented entirely using javascript and are running in resource owner’s browser. … Read more
Background: I’ve written client and server stacks for OAuth 1.0a and 2.0. Both OAuth 1.0a & 2.0 support two-legged authentication, where a server is assured of a user’s identity, and three-legged authentication, where a server is assured by a content provider of the user’s identity. Three-legged authentication is where authorization requests and access tokens come … Read more
