OAuth for Java Developers - Denver JUG 2023

OAuth for Java Developers - Denver JUG 2023

You can use OAuth to secure apps, APIs, and devices. OAuth has become increasingly popular, especially as developers are asked to knit together hundreds of apps and thousands of users in enterprise environments.

The Java ecosystem is vast, with over 10 million developers worldwide and an abundance of IDEs, build tools, libraries, and frameworks to make them more productive. In this session, I’ll provide you with a state of the OAuth ecosystem in Java. You’ll learn which frameworks support OAuth and which ones don’t. I’ll also offer some practical examples you can run in just a few minutes.

  3. 01 02 03 04 What the Heck is OAuth? Java's

    OAuth 2.0 Support OAuth 2.0 in Action Java Security Frameworks 05 OAuth 2.0 Authorization Servers Agenda
  4. Delegated Authorization with OAuth 2.0 I trust Gmail and I

    kind of trust Yelp. I want Yelp to have access to my contacts only. yelp.com Connect with Google
  5. Delegated Authorization with OAuth 2.0 yelp.com Connect with Google accounts.google.com

    Email ********** accounts.google.com 
 Allow Yelp to access your public profile and contacts? No Yes contacts.google yelp.com/callback
  6. OAuth Simplified 1 User authorizes App and delivers proof 2

    App presents proof of authorization to server to get a Token 3 Token is restricted to only access what the User authorized for the specific App 4 App requests authorization from User
  7. Authorization 
 Server (AS) Resource Owner (RO) Client Delegates Obtains

    Token Uses Token Resource 
 Server (RS) Actors
  8. Authorization 
 Server (AS) Resource Owner (RO) Client Delegates Obtains

    Token Uses Token Resource 
 Server (RS) Actors
  9. Authorization Server Authorize Endpoint (/oauth2/authorize) Token Endpoint (/oauth2/token) Authorization Server

    Authorization Grant Refresh Token Access Token Introspection Endpoint (/oauth2/introspect) Revocation Endpoint (/oauth2/revoke)
  10. Tokens • Short-lived token used by Client to access Resource

    Server (API) • Opaque to the Client • No client authentication required (Public Clients) • Optimized for scale and performance • Revocation is dependent on implementation Access Token (Required) • Long-lived token that is used by Client to obtain new access tokens from Authorization Server • Usually requires Confidential Clients with authentication • Forces client to rotate secrets • Can usually be revoked Refresh Token (Optional) OAuth doesn’t define the format of a token!
  11. Self-encoded tokens Protected, time-limited data structure agreed upon between Authorization

    Server and Resource Server that contains metadata and claims about the identity of the user or client over the wire. Resource Server can validate the token locally by checking the signature, expected issuer name and expected audience or scope. Commonly implemented as a signed JSON Web Tokens (JWT) Reference tokens (aka opaque tokens) Infeasible-to-guess (secure-random) identifier for a token issued and stored by the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server Resource Server must send the identifier via back-channel to the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server’s token introspection endpoint to determine if the token is valid and obtain claims/scopes Access Token Types
  12. OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow yelp.com Connect with Google accounts.google.com

    
 Allow Yelp to access your public profile and contacts? No Yes yelp.com/callback Resource owner clicks ^^ Back to redirect URI with authorization code contacts.google Talk to resource server with access token Exchange code for access token accounts.google.com Email ********** Go to authorization server Redirect URI: yelp.com/callback Response type: code Authorization Server Client
  13. Scopes Scopes to Deny Scopes to Allow Additive bundles of

    permissions asked by client when requesting a token 
 Decouples authorization policy decisions from enforcement 
 Who owns the data? End user or the target service 
 Who gets to specify the authorization policy? End user or application owner
  14. OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow yelp.com Connect with Google yelp.com/callback

    Resource owner clicks ^^ Back to redirect URI with authorization code contacts.google Talk to resource server with access token Exchange code for access token accounts.google.com Email ********** Go to authorization server Redirect URI: yelp.com/callback Scope: profile contacts Authorization Server Client accounts.google.com 
 Allow Yelp to access your public profile and contacts? No Yes Request consent from resource owner
  15. Flow Channels Resource 
 Server (RS) Authorization 
 Server (AS)

    Resource Owner (RO) Client Delegates Obtains Token Uses Token Front Channel Back Channel
  16. Front Channel Flow Resource 
 Server (RS) Authorization 
 Server

    (AS) 4 2 3 1 Resource Owner starts flow to delegate access to protected resource 1 Client 2 Client sends authorization request with desired scopes via browser redirect to Authorize Endpoint on Authorization Server 3 User authenticates and consents to Delegated Access (Grant) 4 Authorization Code Grant or Access Token is returned to Client via browser redirect Resource Owner (RO)
  17. Authorization Request HTTP/1.1 302 Found 
 Location: https://app.example.com/oauth2/callback? 
 code=MsCeLvIaQm6bTrgtp7&

    
 state=af0ifjsldkj Request Response Note: Parameters are not URL-encoded for example purposes GET https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth? 
 scope=gmail.insert gmail.send& 
 redirect_uri=https://app.example.com/oauth2/callback& 
 response_type=code& 
 client_id=812741506391& 
 state=af0ifjsldkj
  18. Back Channel Flow Resource 
 Server (RS) Authorization 
 Server

    (AS) 1 Client 2 Client accesses protected resource with Access Token Resource Owner (RO) 2 Client exchanges Authorization Code Grant with token endpoint on Authorization Server for an Access Token and optionally Refresh Token 1
  19. Token Request Note: Parameters are not URL-encoded for example purposes

    POST /oauth2/v3/token HTTP/1.1 Host: www.googleapis.com Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded code=MsCeLvIaQm6bTrgtp7& client_id=812741506391& client_secret={client_secret}& redirect_uri=https://app.example.com/oauth2/callback& grant_type=authorization_code
  20. Making Protected Resource Requests curl -H "Authorization: Bearer 2YotnFZFEjr1zCsicMWpAA" \

    https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/1444587525/messages
  21. OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow yelp.com Connect with Google yelp.com/callback

    Resource owner clicks ^^ Back to redirect URI with authorization code (front channel) contacts.google Talk to resource server (back channel) Exchange code for access token (back channel) accounts.google.com Email ********** Go to authorization server Redirect URI: yelp.com/callback (front channel) Authorization Server Client accounts.google.com 
 Allow Yelp to access your public profile and contacts? No Yes Request consent from resource owner
  22. OAuth 2.0 Grant Types (Flows) • Optimized for browser-only Public

    Clients • Access token returned directly from authorization request (Front-channel only) • Does not support refresh tokens • Assumes Resource Owner and Public Client are on the same device • Most vulnerable to security threats Implicit • Front channel flow used by Client to obtain authorization code grant • Back channel flow used by Client to exchange authorization code grant for access token and optionally refresh token • Assumes Resource Owner and Client are on separate devices • Most secure flow as tokens never passes through user- agent Authorization Code • Optimized for server-only Confidential Clients acting on behalf of itself or a user • Back-channel only flow to obtain an access token using the Client’s credentials • Supports shared secrets or assertions as Client credentials signed with either symmetric or asymmetric keys Client Credential
  23. OAuth 2.0 Grant Types (Flows) • Legacy grant type for

    native username/password apps such as desktop apps • Username/password is authorization grant to obtain access token from Authorization Server • Does not support refresh tokens • Assumes Resource Owner and Public Client or on the same device Resource Owner Password • Optimized for devices that do not have access to web- browsers • User code is returned from authorization request that must be redeemed by visiting a URL on a device with a browser to authorize • Back channel flow used by Client to poll for authorization approval for access token and optionally refresh token Device • Allows Authorization Server to trust authorization grants from third party such as SAML IdP (Federation) • Assertion is used to obtain access token with token request • Does not support refresh tokens Assertion
  24. Six different flows Necessary because of: How you get consent

    from client? Who is making consent? Adds a lot of complexity to OAuth OAuth Flows
  25. Not backward compatible with OAuth 1.0 Interoperability issues exists as

    its not a protocol but rather an authorization framework OAuth 2.0 is not an authentication protocol OAuth 2.0 alone says absolutely nothing about the user OAuth 2.0 Facts
  26. OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect OpenID Connect OAuth 2.0 HTTP

    OpenID Connect is for authentication 
 
 OAuth 2.0 is for authorization
  27. Authorization Request HTTP/1.1 302 Found

  33. No. A browser is required. Three options if a user

    is involved: 1. Web app: handle a redirect 2. CLI, TV, etc: use the Device Grant 3. Native app: use a custom URL handler Can you do OAuth without a browser?
  34. PKCE is required for all clients using the authorization code

    flow Redirect URIs must be compared using exact string matching The Implicit grant is omitted from this specification The Resource Owner Password Credentials grant is omitted from this specification Bearer token usage omits the use of bearer tokens in the query string of URIs Refresh tokens for public clients must either be sender-constrained or one-time use OAuth 2.1 https://oauth.net/2.1/
  35. Java, the language, does not have OAuth support The JDK

    doesn't contain APIs to write a web app Building blocks are provided by Servlet API and Jakarta EE Jakarta Security 3.0 supports OpenID Connect! Java's OAuth 2.0 Support
