By: Adolfo Eloy Nascimento

Overview of this book

OAuth 2.0 is a standard protocol for authorization and focuses on client development simplicity while providing specific authorization flows for web applications, desktop applications, mobile phones, and so on. This book also provides useful recipes for solving real-life problems using Spring Security and creating Android applications. The book starts by presenting you how to interact with some public OAuth 2.0 protected APIs such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Google. You will also be able to implement your own OAuth 2.0 provider with Spring Security OAuth2. Next, the book will cover practical scenarios regarding some important OAuth 2.0 profiles such as Dynamic Client Registration, Token Introspection and how to revoke issued access tokens. You will then be introduced to the usage of JWT, OpenID Connect, and how to safely implement native mobile OAuth 2.0 Clients. By the end of this book, you will be able to ensure that both the server and client are protected against common vulnerabilities.

Preparing an Android development environment


This recipe will present you with how to prepare the android development environment, showing you how to install Android Studio and how to configure virtual devices to start running the recipes. This recipe also presents you how you can create a new Android application through Android Studio.

Getting ready

To run this recipe you need Java 8 and Maven installed, because all the client applications will interact with an API provided by an OAuth 2.0 Provider application. You also have to install Android Studio to create and run the clients that will be implemented throughout this chapter. The OAuth 2.0 Provider is already created and you can download it from GitHub (from the server project created within the Chapter07 directory) at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/OAuth-2.0-Cookbook/tree/master/Chapter07/server. This server application provides both the Authorization Server and the Resource Server components, which allows the use of most grant types...
