auth0-springboot-api

You can secure Spring Boot API endpoints by validating JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) issued by Auth0. This Skill handles JWT validation and scope-based authorization to ensure only authentic, authorized clients access your RESTful services.

Scope-based access control restricts access to specific API endpoints by checking the scopes present in the JWT claims. This ensures clients only reach endpoints their token's scopes explicitly permit, securing user-specific data handling.

DPoP (Proof of Possession) is a token binding mechanism that prevents token theft and reuse. You need it for high-security Spring Boot API environments where proving the client physically holds the token is required.

Yes, you can protect existing RESTful services by integrating the auth0-springboot-api library. It manages token authentication flows, requiring only Spring Boot, Maven or Gradle, and configuration of your Auth0 domain and audience.

To validate Auth0 JWTs, you need to add the auth0-springboot-api dependency and configure your application.yml with your specific Auth0 domain and audience. This setup allows the library to manage the token authentication flows.
