Oauth

If you’re curious about getting started with Oauth2 and Spring Security then you’re in the right place. This course will show you what Oauth2 is, why it’s important, and how to use it effectively. 

You’ll start with an overview of Oauth2 in general and then explore the different types of grants including password grants, authorization grants, refresh token grants, and more. All these concepts are backed by hands-on exercises, so you’ll get to practice creating cross-origin resource sharing policies, custom user-principal, and configuration of the authorization server to send login credentials via JSON. 

By the end of this course, you will have the foundations in place to add a proper authentication system to your application.
