Can anybody provide me with a code sample to access rest service url secured with https using spring rest template.
I have the certificate(.pfx format) password and send cient side certificate to server. server side is used on the client side certificate and established the connection
I want to create a springboot application that work as 2 way SSL between client and server.
Thanks.
I created a sample Spring Boot application that demonstrates how to create a RestTemplate that is configured for SSL client authentication. The sample application acts as the server as well which requires SSL mutual authentication (to demonstrate usage via the test case). In practice, the RestTemplate bean would interact with an external service. Hope this helps.

I should note that the most important part of the example is creating the SSLContext. There are plenty of ways to create the SSLContext, I chose a method that uses the SSLContextBuilder from the org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient library. Other methods such as using the Java API directly, or setting the javax.net.ssl.* JVM properties would also work.

I'm trying to create cert based client authentication using spring 5, without spring boot. Is there a good tutorial on how to do it? (For example: how to specify a truststore, etc...).
I've ended up not using spring security, because I did not need many things it provides, and instead used a simple filter, that checks the data of the used certificate (I also configured the application server used, to allow that certificate).
I have an architecture where my user application wants to use a basic authentication when accessing a spring service. This service has to use a Keycloak instance to verify the user/pass of the user application. I don't succeed to configure it (and don't know if its possible).
Yes, it is possible. Keycloak has Spring Security adapter that can be configured for Client and/or Resource Server.

And also a working example here:

I'm currently working on a project that uses Zuul to proxy requests to both API endpoints as well as client resources. There is an angular app that is being served from the same endpoint as the Zuul proxy as outlined in this guide. I have the need for additional clients, specifically a desktop application.
I'm not sure I understand how Zuul proxy handles requests and I think there are several paths to get to where I want to go, I'm just not sure what the correct one is.
Here is what I have surmised thus far:
Option 1: Extract the Zuul proxy and SSO capabilities to it's own server. Then create a new UI server which is behind the gateway server. Follow this up with creating a new client application server which handles the authentication of the desktop client.
Option 2: Extract the Zuul proxy and SSO capabilities to it's own server. Serve the current angular app from its own server NOT behind the proxy and change the authorization flow to something different (implicit). Alter Zuul proxy and SSO configuration to ignore requests that already have a bearer token in the header.
If I go with option 2 then I don't understand how to register with the Zuul gateway client that I already am providing the authorization header with my requests so all it should be doing then is proxying my requests to the correct microservices.
Final Questions:
Which option is the most optimal one?
If an access token is already acquired (directly from the auth server using implicit flow) then how does Zuul need to be configured to not try and acquire the access token using the jsessionid?
We are using a Jetty server along with Spring security framework. The server should accept requests from only from a known client (Which is also a server). We want to configure client certificates so that Jetty accepts only the requests with the known client certificate.
How can we configure the server?
All we need to do is set NeedClientAuth in jetty-ssl-config.xml to true. No change is needed in Spring config.
I am trying to write a very simple REST client using RestTemplate and Jackson JSON.
Tried such sample from spring.io Getting error 401 Authorization Required even on localhost or even if I include it into the same Tomcat6 Eclipse project where that REST WebService is running.
We don't require any authorization on that Web Service while in Dev or local environment,
and anyway I am an authorized user.
Is that something enforced by Spring RestTemplate?
Running client as Java application on Java 1.6.
I am new to REST and JSON.
No there is no enforced Authorization required by Spring's RestTemplate. You should be able to build or launch an example simple REST webservice and send requests to it with RestTemplate without receiving this response, so either the server you are sending the requests to or something inbetween is returning this response code. Can you share any more details of the service you are communicating with? Is it something internal or a public API which may require Authorization?
