= Spring Authorization Server

Spring Authorization Server is a community-driven project led by the https://spring.io/projects/spring-security/[Spring Security] team and is focused on delivering https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-1.1[OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server] support to the Spring community.

The project will start in Spring's experimental projects as an independent project so that it can evolve more rapidly.

The ultimate goal of this project is to replace the Authorization Server support provided by https://spring.io/projects/spring-security-oauth/[Spring Security OAuth].

With the much needed help from our community, this project will grow in the same way that the original Spring Security OAuth project did.

== Feature Planning
This project uses https://www.zenhub.com/[ZenHub] to prioritize the feature roadmap and help organize the project plan.
The project board can be accessed https://app.zenhub.com/workspaces/authorization-server-5e8f3182b5e8f5841bfc4902/board?repos=248032165[here].
It is recommended to install the ZenHub https://www.zenhub.com/extension[browser extension] as it integrates natively within GitHub's user interface.

The completed and upcoming feature list can be viewed in the https://github.com/spring-projects-experimental/spring-authorization-server/wiki/Feature-List[wiki].

== Getting Started
The first place to start is to read the https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749[OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework] to gain an in-depth understanding on how to build an Authorization Server.
It is a critically important first step as the implementation must conform to the specification defined in the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework and the https://github.com/spring-projects-experimental/spring-authorization-server/wiki/OAuth-2.0-Specifications[related specifications].

The second place to start is to become very familiar with the codebase in the following Spring Security modules:

- https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-security/tree/master/oauth2/oauth2-core[OAuth 2.0 Core]
- https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-security/tree/master/oauth2/oauth2-client[OAuth 2.0 Client]
- https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-security/tree/master/oauth2/oauth2-resource-server[OAuth 2.0 Resource Server]
- https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-security/tree/master/oauth2/oauth2-jose[OAuth 2.0 JOSE] (Javascript Object Signing and Encryption)

A significant amount of effort was put into developing the https://spring.io/blog/2018/01/30/next-generation-oauth-2-0-support-with-spring-security[Next Generation OAuth 2.0 Support in Spring Security].
The goal is to leverage all the knowledge learned thus far and apply the same to the development of Spring Authorization Server.

Submitted work via pull requests should follow the same coding style/conventions and adopt the same or similar design patterns that have been established in Spring Security's OAuth 2.0 support.

== Documentation
Be sure to read the https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/reference/html5/[Spring Security Reference], as well as the https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/reference/html5/#oauth2[OAuth 2.0 Reference], which describes the Client and Resource Server features available.

Extensive JavaDoc for the Spring Security code is also available in the https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/api/[Spring Security API Documentation].

== Downloading Artifacts
See https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/wiki/Spring-Framework-Artifacts[downloading Spring artifacts] for Maven repository information.

== Building from Source
Spring Authorization Server uses a https://gradle.org[Gradle]-based build system.
In the instructions below, https://vimeo.com/34436402[`./gradlew`] is invoked from the root of the source tree and serves as
a cross-platform, self-contained bootstrap mechanism for the build.

=== Prerequisites
https://help.github.com/set-up-git-redirect[Git] and the https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads[JDK8 build].

Be sure that your `JAVA_HOME` environment variable points to the `jdk1.8.0` folder extracted from the JDK download.
