What is the easiest way to switch from jsession based authentication to a token based authentication with Azure AD and Spring security? The documentation is not clear on other approaches to authenticate with azure AD other than the default session based one.
I am trying to see how can I validate the jwt access token using azure AD. The default implementation works with session based authentication (which will not work in a system with multiple instances.) The session-stateless property mentioned in the doc doesn't seem to have any effect on the authentication.
Spring Cloud Azure integrate Spring Security with Azure Active Directory.
You could use spring-cloud-azure-starter-active-directory starter to integrate with Spring Security, please refer this sample to see how to use it.
For further reading, please refer the Azure Active Directory dev guide, it covers these scenarios for you:
Access a web application
Access resource servers from a web application
Protect a resource server/API
Access other resource servers from a resource server
Web application and resource server in one application

I have a frontend application in angular and backend in java language.
Goal:
to secure angular to spring boot application(A) with spring boot security and azure ad.
to secure above spring boot application(A)server api which will call other spring boot application(B) i.e. server to server resource security.
And spring boot application (B) calling spring boot application (A) with spring security.
Above project is a multimodule project.
• Please follow the below documentation link which describes the features and core scenarios of the Spring Boot application for Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). It explains in detail how to connect your spring boot application to an Azure AD tenant and protect your resource server with Azure AD. It uses the OAuth 2.0 protocol to protect web applications and resource servers.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/developer/java/spring-framework/spring-boot-starter-for-azure-active-directory-developer-guide
Do take into consideration that the above steps mentioned in the documentation uses OAuth 2.0 authorization code grant flow for enabling a user to sign in with Microsoft account.
• And you will have to develop and build your own spring boot java application to integrate Azure AD authentication along with resource protection in it. The above documentation will help you configure the accessibility of resource servers from a web application as well as protect that resource server/API or access other resource servers from a resource server. Thus, this satisfies all your requirements promptly if you follow it. Also, please do take into consideration that you will have to have all the prerequisites in place like a supported Java Development Kit version 8, Apache Maven version 3 or later and a spring boot application already registered with Azure AD. Do refer to the link below for starter springboot Java application linked with Azure AD: -

What I've done till now:
I have installed Keycloack(8.0.1) and configured it, created realm, clients, and users.
Configured couple of simple Spring Boot apps with Keycloack and it is working with SSO.
I am trying to achieve following.
Keycloak should connect to Azure Active Directory and read the users from there (User Federation) and authenticate, authorise users to use the application.
Created Active Directory B2C on Azure cloud.
I have gone through too many links and read through Keycloak official documentation but could not figured the way out.
Thanks in advance.
Using Angular JS for my front-end and Spring MVC for web services. Based on SOA architecture, front end and back end are loosely coupled.
I want to use Windows Authentication to login in the web application without asking any username and password in the login page.
I am getting struck in Spring Security Kerberos and want to authenticate from the LDAP and then Use Spring JWT oAuth protocol to continue further.
Can someone help where am I missing or what will be the robust way for this architecture.
P.S. : Spring MVC + Angular JS
High level: If your doing the authentication via the Internet i.e where you don't have access to get Kerberos tickets via Spring Security, you need to consider using SAML or OAuth. Otherwise if you have local access and can talk directly to the authentication servers from your server hosting your code you can use Kerberos.
SAML and OAuth are very different to LDAP and Kerberos. Kerberos and LDAP can generally only be used if you have direct access to the authentication servers, i.e when are you in the same windows domain.
For further help please post code samples and an outline of what your trying to achieve.
I'm creating an Authentication Server and which some of my existing applications can use to authenticate. I'm using the OAuth2 with Spring Boot by following this sample project and tutorial https://github.com/dynamind/spring-boot-security-oauth2-minimal.
But in my case my existing applications are built using Spring MVC and angular. So there is no separate Resource Server. Resources are also located in same application(Resources are my Secured Request Mappings in same application).I just want to separate the authentication process from my client applications and use a common Authorization Server. (Currently they use the Google Authentication + Spring Security to secure the application).
So I tried to use #EnableResourceServer and #EnableOAuth2Client in same application but I could not get the expected results.
What is the best way to achieve this task?? Is there any other method that I can follow to authenticate my applications from Oauth2 Server?
You need to configure your web security for form based login and Resource Server Security form REST Endpoints
See my answer to the similar question here
I'm have the next scenario on my enviroment
Tomcat running as services in Windows server
The service is configured with a Domain Account, it is an Active Directory Account.
Now in a Spring Controller I need to acces to a site, this site is configured with Integrated Security.
So what I want is to access to this site using the same credentials that is running the tomcat account. So I'm beleave thath I need to access to this credentials and pass it to a http client.
Thanks.
There's a number of ways you can integrate a Java application into an Active Directory / Windows Authentication system:
I would start by understanding the Kerberos and NTLM authentication systems (and which apply to your environment) and reading up on the documentation: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/net/http-auth.html
Given you are using Spring already, I would strongly consider using Spring Security, which has NTLM support: http://blog.mediasoft.be/ntlm-with-spring-security-20/
