Spring Security OAuth - Full authentication is required to access this resource

Question

Following is my Authorization server configuration:

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.config.annotation.configurers.ClientDetailsServiceConfigurer;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.config.annotation.web.configuration.AuthorizationServerConfigurerAdapter;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.config.annotation.web.configurers.AuthorizationServerSecurityConfigurer;

@Configuration
public class AuthorizationServerConfig extends AuthorizationServerConfigurerAdapter {

    @Override
    public void configure(ClientDetailsServiceConfigurer clients) throws Exception {
        clients.inMemory().withClient("acme").secret("acmesecret")
                .authorizedGrantTypes("authorization_code", "refresh_token", "password").scopes("openid")
                .autoApprove(true);
    }

    @Override
    public void configure(AuthorizationServerSecurityConfigurer oauthServer) throws Exception {
        oauthServer.tokenKeyAccess("permitAll()").checkTokenAccess("isAuthenticated()");
    }

}

And the Web security configuration:

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.core.annotation.Order;
import org.springframework.security.authentication.AuthenticationManager;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.authentication.builders.AuthenticationManagerBuilder;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;

@Configuration
@Order(-20) // Very important
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Autowired
    private AuthenticationManager authenticationManager;

    @Override
    protected void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
        auth.parentAuthenticationManager(authenticationManager);
    }

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {

        http.formLogin().loginPage("/login.html").permitAll().and().requestMatchers()
                .antMatchers("/login", "/oauth/authorize", "/oauth/confirm_access").and().authorizeRequests()
                .anyRequest().authenticated();

    }
}

Now, from the client application, when I try to access a secure resource, it redirects to the authorization server but I get the following error:

<oauth>
<error_description>
Full authentication is required to access this resource
</error_description>
<error>unauthorized</error>
</oauth>

The same setup is working well in case of basic authentication. I am facing problems when I switch to form login.

Update

The following web security setting worked.

http.formLogin().loginPage("/login.html").loginProcessingUrl("/login").permitAll().and().authorizeRequests()
                .antMatchers("/login", "/oauth/authorize", "/oauth/confirm_access","/oauth/token").permitAll().anyRequest()
                .authenticated().and().csrf().disable();

Now, I am able to see the login page and I am able to login as well, but post login, the client is not able to get an oauth token.

This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.

There was an unexpected error (type=Unauthorized, status=401).
Authentication Failed: Could not obtain access token

I am able to see the following server log

Update 2

Following is my client configuration.

security:
  oauth2:
    client:
      accessTokenUri: http://localhost:9999/uaa/oauth/token
      userAuthorizationUri: http://localhost:9999/uaa/oauth/authorize
      clientId: acme
      clientSecret: acmesecret
    resource:
      userInfoUri: http://localhost:9999/uaa/user
logging:
  level:
    org.springframework.security: DEBUG

Update 3

The code is available in the following repo

https://github.com/pavan496/insol-test

Solution 1

I think I figured out what the problem was.

I went through the following example available on github where form based authentication mechanism was used (which is what I was looking for).

https://github.com/spring-guides/tut-spring-security-and-angular-js/

The exact code is working fine if I use a non HTML page as my login page. For example, JSP or FTL. The example uses Freemarker. Everything is working fine with my settings if I use ftl pages. But the same are not working in case of .html pages.

Solution 2

You need to make the /login endpoints publicly available (not authorized), users need to be able to login without being already logged in.

The /oauth endpoints must be secured.

Try the following

@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
    http
        .authorizeRequests()
            .antMatchers("/login.html", "/logout.do").permitAll()
            .antMatchers("/**").authenticated()
        .and()
        .formLogin()
            .loginProcessingUrl("/login")
            .loginPage("/login.html");
 }

I have a spring-security-oauth example project on github, you can check it out here https://github.com/FrontierPsychiatrist/spring-oauth-example/.

I tried this. I am receiving an error stating "An OAuth 2 access token must be obtained or an exception thrown." I think the client application is trying to fire "/oauth/token" request after the /authorize request. And that is not accessible. I looked at your repo. This is not the case in it. Your approach seems to be a little different. I have shared my code in the repo mentioned in the question. Can you please take a look at it. It shouldn't be very hard to setup. Thank you.

Maybe the FTL template adds the CSRF token automatically, while in the html page, you have to add it manually. Just guessing!
