Use a custom OAuth Provider

It is very easy to configure http4k to integrate with any OAuth2 provider who supports the Authorisation Code Grant.

Gradle setup

dependencies {
    implementation(platform("org.http4k:http4k-bom:5.17.0.0"))
    implementation("org.http4k:http4k-core")
    implementation("org.http4k:http4k-security-oauth")
}

For this example, simply reconfigure the OAuthProvider instance with the correct details, and provide custom logic for persisting and retrieving the CSRF and AccessToken.

// This interface allows us to provide custom logic for storing and
// verifying the CSRF and AccessTokens.
//
// To be maximally secure, never let the end-user see the access token!
//
// Also avoid allowing third parties set the original uri as this might
// allow phishing attacks.
//
// One strategy might be to use an enum to map to a set of know uris
// e.g. shoppingCart -> /cart
