Client with JWT support for Spring Cloud Config

spring-cloud-config-client-jwt

JWT minded Configuration Integration for Spring Cloud Config Client

Features

Spring Cloud Config Client JWT uses JWT authentication approach instead of standard Basic Authentication. Please keep in mind Spring Cloud Config Server needs some changes too. Find sample code here

Authentication flow has following steps:

1. Client sends request with username/password to Server's Authentication REST Controller.
2. Server returns back JWT.
3. Client includes Token with Bearer: prefix into Authorization Header for querying configuration values from Config Server.

Usage

1. Build with Maven using clean package
2. Include spring-cloud-config-client-jwt and spring-cloud-starter-config into pom.xml for your project.
3. Keep standard spring.cloud.config.uri, spring.cloud.config.username, spring.cloud.config.password and new spring.cloud.config.enabled=false, spring.cloud.config.endpoint={YOUR_CONFIG_SERVER_URL}/auth values into your bootstrap.properties

Sample bootstrap.properties:

spring.application.name=my-service
spring.cloud.config.uri=http://localhost:8888
spring.cloud.config.username=user
spring.cloud.config.password=pwd
spring.cloud.config.enabled=false
spring.cloud.config.endpoint=http://localhost:8888/auth

spring-cloud-config-client-jwt's Issues

Cloud not locate property resouce : 401 null

I tried the same implementation as you have posted, since my requirement is implement spring cloud config with JWT
I'm facing issue when my client application runs with the following error : "Cloud not locate property resouce : 401 null"
Its due to the security we set at the config server with JWT. The JWT token is fetched to the client application after the inital default client trying to fetch the config server properties mentioned in the bootstrap.properties.

I have searched almost everywhere but i came to the above conclusion that the custom Configuration Property class is loading later than the default one. Did you too face the same issue, if yes how did you manage to load your custom Configuration class 1st?

Kindly suggest.
