I want to destroy jwt token from spring-boot application.
Architecture is the following :
front-end: react
back-end : sring boot
I have to implement logout function. Now I developed the logout function in front-end and it removes the jwt token in redux storage but when I use the same jwt token before it removed from the front-end redux storage then I can use that token form postman and I can access secured rest end points.
How to remove the jwt in spring boot back-end.
Technically, as your application is stateless, your Spring Boot app won't know when your client logout cause it never keep track of all the tokens it has issued/generated. (That's why it's called stateless :D)
The best practice here is to keep your JWT expire shortly. This way it become expired before someone try to reuse the token.
To make the user journey seamless, you can refresh JWT token in background to make sure user always stay login.

I am trying to configure an authentication flow in Spring Boot using OneLogin SSO. I can successfully authenticate, create a JWT token, and redirect to my frontend app.
However, I am not certain of the next steps. When my JWT token expires, is the appropriate course to clear my security context and then to redirect to OneLogin again and reconfirm my authentication? Right now, as far as I can tell, Spring's security context represents one moment in time and I can't figure out how to refresh it against my SSO provider to ensure the user is still authenticated.
I am using Keycloak to provide SSO through OIDC for a bunch of applications that belong to the same realm. All of these applications are confidential clients that use the Authorization Code flow. They use JSP for the views, and all necessary redirects are managed by Spring Boot and Spring Security Keycloak adapters.
After successfully logging in I can switch from one application to another correctly (SSO). For each of them, an HttpSession is generated containing a org.keycloak.adapters.springsecurity.token.KeycloakAuthenticationToken. This class, has a details object (SimpleKeycloakAccount) with a securityContext (RefreshableKeycloakSecurityContext) that contains the access token (tokenString), id token (idTokenString) and refresh token (refreshTokenString):
The contained access token has a 5 minute expiration time. Oddly enough, after this time has passed, although I'm still correctly authenticated in the Spring Boot application, I've checked that the access token is never refreshed.
I need to have a valid access token, since some of these applications invoke REST services, secured with the same adapters with bearer only authentication. The problem is I end up having an expired access token and have to deal (manually?) with its expiration.
Is there a way to make the adapter refresh the access token when it expires or are we expected to do so programmatically?
Can you show how to do it?
I am very new to Spring boot security JWT tokens please give me suggestions on my requirement.
I want to use JWT tokens for Spring boot web application. Means I have rest controllers to supply data to frontend the frontend will request data from Rest Controller. Here the token exchange comes my requirement is User login once in the application and he got token no problem, here the token expiry time is 30 minutes. Here is the problem the user contentiously working on the application after 30 minutes the page expired and asking for new token but in normal web applications if user continuously working the session time automatically refreshed. I know token based authentication is stateless but please help me how to achieve this with auto refresh token like session.
I am building an application with an angular frontend and spring boot on the backend. I was able to configure the angular and spring part.
So, the frontend requests a token and sends it with every request to the java backend. This works just fine.
My java backend is now in the need to reuse the client token to request data from another service, which uses the same mechanism.
What is the right way to go forward? Requesting an own token for my service or using the existing token from the authenticated user?
I have not found a way to do this.
Works as pointed out by ravthiru
While calling your 3rd service you can use the same token , Add your third service as bearer-only Client.
I'm about to implement a token based authentication system with Spring Boot and Json web token. I have a frontend app built with Angular. My understanding is that once authenticated, all API calls from the angular app will send the token to the server to be verified before a response is sent back.
I'm wondering then how Spring Security would fit into the picture. It seems like it is no longer necessary if I just use the server to verify the token every time the frontend makes a call.
My question is whether or not Spring Security is required in this instance and if it is, what role will/can it play?
I would like to know from the outset before diving in. Thanks!
