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.

Managing refresh tokens on the client side

This recipe will show you how to add support for refresh tokens. As you will realize, by using Spring Security OAuth2 it becomes simple to start persisting refresh tokens, and all the logic to recognize when it's time to use the refresh token to ask for a new access token will be done by Spring Security OAuth2.

Getting ready

To run this recipe, make sure you have an OAuth 2.0 Provider running on your machine. I recommend you use the project auth-code-server presented in Chapter 2, Implementing Your Own OAuth 2.0 Provider. If you have any doubts about the source code presented in this recipe, do not hesitate to download the source code available on GitHub at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/OAuth-2.0-Cookbook/tree/master/Chapter03/client-refresh-token. This recipe also relies on a database that was created in the Creating an OAuth 2.0 client using the Authorization Code grant type recipe for the client-authorization-code project.
