What is OAuth 2.0?1:33
OAuth 2.0, or open authorization, lets an app access a user's resources without sharing credentials. It acts as a security layer via an authorization server.
Principles of OAuth 2.01:32
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization protocol, not authentication, that grants access to resources via access tokens, often JWT, which may carry data and expire.
The big picture of the OAuth 2.0 flow3:27
Explore the OAuth 2.0 flow for social login, including redirects to authorization servers, authorization codes, and backend integration with providers like GitHub and Google.
The detailed workflow for OAuth 2.05:41
Learn the detailed OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow, from resource owner request through authorization, login, and consent, to exchanging an authorization code for an access token.
Resource owner - client - auth server - resource server terminology2:21
Define the four oauth 2.0 roles: resource owner, client, authorization server, resource server, and explain their endpoints: authorization for interactive authentication and consent, and token for machine-to-machine access.

Create a new Spring boot project2:31
Bootstrap spring boot project via spring initializr using maven, java 17/19, spring 3; set up oauth2 client and resource server with okta, expose web endpoint, and open in IntelliJ.
Create and configure the GitHub application4:39
Create and configure a GitHub OAuth application for social login, including registering the app, setting home and callback URLs, and obtaining the client ID and secret.
Create and configure the Google application2:59
Learn to set up Google as an authorization server by creating a Google Cloud project, navigating to credentials, and generating an OAuth client ID and secret for a desktop app.
Create a sample DEMO controller3:56
Create a simple demo controller with a secured /api/v1/demo endpoint, bootstrapping a resource server and enabling oauth 2.0 authentication via configuration for spring security.
Secure the backend endpoints3:25
Create a security config with a security filter chain and http security rules to secure all backend endpoints, enabling OAuth 2 login for authentication and authorization.

Add the GitHub configuration2:45
Register GitHub as an OAuth 2 client in Spring Security by adding your client id and client secret to spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.github, using either YAML or properties, then run the app.
Testing the flow5:09
Test the OAuth 2.0 flow with Spring Security and social login, authenticating via GitHub, authorizing the client, and obtaining a token to access a secure endpoint.
[Debug] Testing the flow and watching the requests6:00
Walks through testing the OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow with GitHub login, showing redirects, authorization codes, tokens, and how Spring handles multiple authorization servers and client credentials.
How OAuth 2.0 is implemented?9:59
Explore how Spring OAuth 2.0 client properties map to registrations via the registration adapter, and how get builder from issuer assembles provider configs for GitHub and Google.
Add Google as provider2:01
Learn how to add Google as an OAuth provider, obtain and paste the client ID and client secret, and restart the application to apply the changes.
Test the changes and connect with Google1:24
Test the changes by connecting with Google or GitHub, authorize with your credentials, including client ID and client secret, and verify the secure endpoint at /api/v1/demo.

Description

In today's digital age, security is paramount, especially when it comes to web-based applications and APIs. With cyber threats and hacking incidents on the rise, it's essential to have a robust and reliable security mechanism in place to safeguard your system and users' data.

This is where OAuth 2.0 comes in. OAuth 2.0 is a widely adopted authorization standard that enables secure and scalable authorization for web-based applications and APIs. By using OAuth 2.0, users can grant limited access to their resources without sharing their login credentials, providing an extra layer of security against unauthorized access.

Our comprehensive course on OAuth 2.0 provides you with a deep understanding of its fundamentals, including its components, flows, and security considerations. You'll learn how to implement OAuth 2.0 in your web-based applications and APIs, allowing your users to authenticate and authorize third-party applications securely.

Our course also focuses on social login, a popular use case for OAuth 2.0. We'll show you how to integrate with popular social login providers like GitHub, Facebook, and Google, enabling your users to easily and securely log in using their existing social media credentials.

By enrolling in our OAuth 2.0 course, you'll gain the knowledge and skills necessary to build secure, scalable, and user-friendly web-based applications and APIs that rely on OAuth 2.0 for authentication and authorization. Don't leave the security of your system and users' data to chance. Invest in your knowledge and enroll in our OAuth 2.0 course today.
