We would like to use the new authorization/token system of Web API2 and have upgraded to MVC5/Web API2.
There is an internal REST API that does authentication already that we would like to reuse. Essentially it takes uid/pwd and some additional profile parameters and returns true/false.
Question: how to hook up an authentication filter against that service instead of the default Entity Framework 6 DB-based Identity store?
I looked at UserManager class and it is unclear this is the right path.
Hope following video answer your question.

I need to implement Authentication & Authorization using spring boot oauth2 with keycloak as a provider.
I also need to support muti-tenancy. I tried example with authentication using spring-boot-starter-auth2-client to authenticate, but not able to add multi-tenancy.
When I used spring-boot-starter-auth2-client, I need to configure hardcode keycloak urls(specific to one tenant) in properties and not able to support multi-tenancy.
I also analyze spring-boot-starter-auth2-resouce-server, but not clear. I understand that resouce server use for validation of token and expiry.
Note: I don't want to use keycloak adapter library which is provided by keycloak.
Could you please help me -
Where need to use spring-boot-starter-oauth2-client and spring-boot-starter-oauth2-resouce-server?
Is spring-boot-starter-oauth2-resouce-server also use to authentication?
How to authenticat user using spring-boot-starter-oauth2-client and pass to spring-boot-starter-oauth2-resouce-server for authorization.
How to implement multi-tenacy e.g. take tenant id from url and redirect user to tenant specific keycloak login page.
I tried some example but won't succeed, working example will be helpful with -
Spring Webflux + spring-boot-starter-oauth2-client+ spring-boot-starter-oauth2-resouce-server + multi-tenancy + keycloak as a provider.
Thanks & Regards,

tried some example found on internet, but didn't work.
This question should not be answered because:
it is actually a container for many questions
quite a few are way too wide or lack precision.
But as it seems to be a first question... (break it down next time, give more details and edit your question when you get comments asking precisions)
1. Where need to use spring-boot-starter-oauth2-client and spring-boot-starter-oauth2-resouce-server?
This one is important to start with as I suspect you lack OAuth2 background, specifically regarding involved parties and how it is implemented with spring-security:
spring-boot-starter-oauth2-client is to be used with OAuth2 clients:
apps serving UI with oauth2Login (#Controllers with methods returning template names)
apps consuming REST APIs with auto-configured Spring client: WebClient, #FeignClient, RestTemplate
spring-boot-starter-oauth2-resouce-server is to be used with resource-servers: apps serving REST APIs (#RestController or #Controller with #ResponseBody)
Now, if your app has controllers for both the resources and the UI to manipulate it (with Thymeleaf or any other server-side rendering engine), then define two different security filter-chains: one for each, ordered, and with securityMatcher in the first in order to limit the routes it applies to (the second being used as fallback for unmatched routes). Sample in this answer (the sample is for servlet, but it's the exact same principles): Use Keycloak Spring Adapter with Spring Boot 3
2. Is spring-boot-starter-oauth2-resouce-server also use to authentication?
OAuth2 requests should be authorized with an Authorization header containing a Bearer access-token.
The client is responsible for acquiring such an access-token from the authorization-server before sending requests to resource-server.
Your question is not quite clear but here are a few statements which could answer:
resource-server should return 401 (unauthorized) and not 302 (redirect to login) when authorization is missing or invalid => do not configure oauth2Login in resource-server filter-chain. Again, this is client business
resource-server is responsible for resources access-control: check that access-token is valid, that the user has required authorities, etc.
3. How to authenticat user using spring-boot-starter-oauth2-client and pass to spring-boot-starter-oauth2-resouce-server for authorization.
This question is not focused enough to get a single answer: what kind of client? what kind of request? context?
I see three main cases here:
the UI is rendered on Spring server with Thymeleaf, JSF, and alike => use spring's oauth2Login and refer to its documentation to overrides defaults and implement your authorization-server selection logic
the UI is rendered in the browser (Angular, React, Vue, ...) and you are ok to make it an OAuth2 client => find a certified client lib for your framework and implement the logic in the client (angular-auth-oidc-client, for instance, supports multi-tenancy)
the UI is rendered in the browser, but you prefer to implement the Backend For Frontend pattern to hide tokens from browser, then choose a BFF (like spring-cloud-gateway with tokenRelay filter) and refer to its doc for implementing your logic in it
If that can be of any help, I have:
here a tutorial for configuring an app with a Thymeleaf UI client and REST API
there a sample repo with an Angular workspace (app configured as OIDC client + API client lib generated from OpenAPI spec) and spring-boot resource-server (using servlet, but this makes no difference to the client).
4. How to implement multi-tenacy e.g. take tenant id from url and redirect user to tenant specific keycloak login page
Note
One of key principles of OAuth2 is that identities (tokens) are emitted (issued) by trusted 3rd parties (authorization-servers) => you must configure the list of issuers your resource-servers can trust (and clients can fetch tokens from). This list is static (loaded with conf at startup).
Accept identities from various issuers on the resource-server
This is done by overriding the default ReactiveAuthenticationManagerResolver<ServerWebExchange> in your SecurityWebFilterChain configuration: http.oauth2ResourceServer().authenticationManagerResolver(authenticationManagerResolver)
I provide with thin wrappers around spring-boot-starter-oauth2-resource-server which support multi-tenancy just by defining properties. Complete sample there:
Instead of spring-boot-starter-oauth2-resource-server (which is a transient dependency):
<dependency>
<groupId>com.c4-soft.springaddons</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-addons-webflux-jwt-resource-server</artifactId>
</dependency>
Instead of all your resource-server Java conf (unless you want access control from configuration and not with method-security, in which case, you'd have to define an AuthorizeExchangeSpecPostProcessor bean here). Of course, you'll have to add here a client filter-chain with a restrictive securityMatcher if you also serve UI client with oauth2Login:
#EnableReactiveMethodSecurity
#Configuration
public class SecurityConfig {
}
Instead of spring.security.oauth2.resourceserver properties:
com.c4-soft.springaddons.security.issuers[0].location=https://localhost:8443/realms/realm-1
com.c4-soft.springaddons.security.issuers[0].authorities.claims=realm_access.roles,resource_access.client-1.roles,resource_access.client-2.roles
com.c4-soft.springaddons.security.issuers[1].location=https://localhost:8443/realms/realm-2
com.c4-soft.springaddons.security.issuers[1].authorities.claims=realm_access.roles,resource_access.client-1.roles,resource_access.client-2.roles
# Comma separated list of routes accessible to anonymous
com.c4-soft.springaddons.security.permit-all=/api/v1/public/**,/actuator/health/readiness,/actuator/health/liveness
# Fine-grained CORS configuration can be set per path as follow:
com.c4-soft.springaddons.security.cors[0].path=/api/**
com.c4-soft.springaddons.security.cors[0].allowed-origins=https://localhost,https://localhost:8100,https://localhost:4200
# this are defaults and can be omitted
com.c4-soft.springaddons.security.cors[0].allowedOrigins=*
com.c4-soft.springaddons.security.cors[0].allowedMethods=*
com.c4-soft.springaddons.security.cors[0].allowedHeaders=*
com.c4-soft.springaddons.security.cors[0].exposedHeaders=*
If you don't want to use "my" wrappers, just copy from the source, it is open.
Redirect the user to the right authorization-server from client UI
As explained at point 3., this depends on the kind of client, used framework and if BFF pattern is applied or not
5. I tried some example but won't succeed, working example will be helpful with - Spring Webflux + spring-boot-starter-oauth2-client + spring-boot-starter-oauth2-resouce-server + multi-tenancy + keycloak as a provider
With all the elements above and linked resources, you should have enough to find your own path
I am making an API in .net that is using WebApi. The API is going to be consumed by an adroid native application. I would like to implement OAuth2 for authentication however I don't want to use Entity Framework and the baked in implementation when you create a project seems to use that. Is there an easy way to implement the OAuth2 modules without the Entity Framework integration or do I have to try and write my own classes that implement the same interfaces as the user classes in Entity Framework?
You don't need to. That's just there for convenience. First, you need to understand how OAuth works from an Authentication Server perspective. I have a feeling you are using OWIN.
In that case, you need to enable OAuthAuthentication and use their delegates to intercept when clients are calling your API for authentication (so that you can generate a token). Then you just authenticate against a database... worst case scenario you can do.. "SELECT u, p from Users where u = 'user' and p = 'password'.... My point is that you don't need Entity Framework at all. Once you have a valid user, then you create a token, add some claims to it and send it back. Done. There are plenty of examples online.
I'm currently trying to setup FOSOAuthServerBundle with my Symfony2 app.
Everything seems to be setup and functional, anyway I'm stuck after the installation.
What is the proper workflow with URLs to get the access_token ?
I tried /oauth/v2/auth, but sounds like I need to define a Client object first.
How to create/generate Client ? Clients are always supposed to be created manually ?
FOSOAuthServerBundle doc is great, but seems to skip all the usage workflow. Am I supposed to check the OAuth2 doc for this ?
Thanks !
In short, yes. You should be using the oAuth2 RFC to determine which workflow you want to use. In regards to client registration the RFC specifically states that the means through which a client registers is beyond the scope of the specification (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6749#section-2).
With that being said I can give you some insight into how I did this. My application is a mobile phone application that connects to several services running on various servers. I'm also using the Resource Owner Password Credentials Grant.
The way I approached this was: when the application loads, the first thing it does is to check if it has an oAuth2 client id. If it doesn't, then it POSTS to a create client endpoint I've setted up with the meta-data I need. The endpoint validates the POST, creates the client and returns the client information. The application stores the client id and the process doesn't have to be repeated the next time.
Application loads;
Application checks for oAuth2 client id;
If there is one, the process ends;
If there isn't, it posts to http://www.example.com/client;
If we get a 200, store the oAuth2 client id.
I could have also created the oAuth2 client when the user created an account in the application, but I wanted to make the registration process as fast as possible. Creating the client would have added some extra waiting time to the process.

It's quite simple to convert to Doctrine, whether you use it.
There's a command-line that does exactly what you need: create a Client!
I have a scenario where I am trying to combine spring security with jersey for my REST API.
My need is rather complicated (I think) and it is as follows:
Spring security is being used to intercept urls and forcing basic authentication in order to access a REST resource. This seems to be ok as I am using http client to test this.
However what I want to do is somehow access the User object that is loaded to check some additional permissions that hang off the user (a map object with boolean flags to indicate if object properties are visible or not). The code that does the loading works, but after spring authenticates how do I then access the User object in the actual REST Resource method itself?? Is this possible?
So the steps are:
1) Client makes a REST API call
2) Spring intercepts URL checks username and password supplied in the http header
3) The rest resource method is then accessed if valid credentials are present
But before step 3, I want to somehow pass on the loaded User object to the actual Resource method itself so I can further apply some logic to restrict what the user can see based on the permissions that I have loaded??? Is this possible? I think I have seen some code somewhere that checks for User Roles before a method is accessed using Spring and REST but if anyone has any links or ideas that would be excellent.
Please help if you can. thank you so much.
I solved this by using a request-scoped proxy which was constructed by a bean factory.
This allows you to simply inject your currently authenticated user into any spring managed bean, and in my case my Jersey Resources fell into that category. I injected my user into the tier below the resources, but it's all the same.
Someone else elegantly blogged the full solution here.
I need to get a list of tasks for a user from a WCF service to display on an iPhone app. I'm planning to use something like http://www.nayyeri.net/custom-username-and-password-authentication-in-wcf-3-5 to authenticate, but how would I pick up the username/user ID to filter my list of items?
You'll need to follow the example in the answer to this question on custom validator access to the user name. This good overview of custom service credentials shows how all the pieces work together. On the iPhone side, you'll need to configure the client to perform Basic HTTP authentication over HTTPS to successfully call the service.
