Summary
- In this member-only story, the implementation of Single Sign-On (SSO) in a Spring Boot application using OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect with Spring Security is explained.
- The required dependencies for this implementation are spring-boot-starter-oauth2-client and spring-boot-starter-security.
- These should be added to the pom.xml file for Maven or Gradle.
- The Spring Boot application is configured to use Google as an Identity Provider (IdP), with Google Client ID and secret as well as the relevant scopes set in the application.yml.
- This opens up the door for users to authenticate via Google and then access the protected routes in the Spring Boot application.
- This approach allows for a more streamlined user experience and simplified management of user identities.
