Tag: Authentication Service
In this fourth and final article discussing the AuthenticationService, we will exercise the service using its generated Swagger interface, and we view its operation metrics using the AuthenticationDashboard in Grafana.
In this third article discussing the AuthenticationService, we focus on the implementation of the core logic found in the AuthenticationService class and the JWTAuthorizationFilter, which intercepts service requests and verifies that each request has sufficient privileges to access the resource.
In this second article discussing the AuthenticationService, we cover several areas. First, we introduce the user credentials and privileges role data model and the Spring repositories used to persist the data. We also look at the service's event publisher, the JSON Web Token (JWT) provider, and the email client the service uses to send messages to the Notification Service.
Most applications require some form of authentication to restrict access to secured various service features. Additionally, we need a mechanism to register users and recover a user's forgotten passwords. To fulfill these requirements, this will be the first of a four-part series of articles cover the construction of the AuthenticationService. In this article, we introduce the basic components of the AuthenticationService.
