Spring fails for userinfo endpoint returning signed JWT

We're working on a Spring Boot application that is an OIDC client. The identity provider (IdP) is a third-party service and fully OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 compliant (as far as we can tell). As it's built with high security in mind, its UserInfo endpoint returns a signed JWT (instead of a regular one).

It seems that Spring Security does not support it. The authentication flow ends with an error message (displayed in an HTML page generated by our Spring application):

[invalid_user_info_response] An error occurred while attempting to retrieve the UserInfo Resource: Could not extract response: no suitable HttpMessageConverter found for response type [java.util.Map] and content type [application/jwt;charset=UTF-8]

My questions:

Our analysis has shown that the DefaultOAuth2UserService requests (Accept: application/json) and expects a JSON response from the IdP. However, being configured for high security, the IdP returns a signed JWT with the content type application/jwt. The response looks like the example on jwt.io. As the RestTemplate has no message converter capable of handling the content type application/jwt, the authenticaton fails.

Our sample app is as simple as it gets:

build.gradle

plugins {
    id 'java'
    id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.2.4.RELEASE'
    id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.9.RELEASE'
}

group = 'com.example'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = '11'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-oauth2-client'
}

DemoApplication.java

package demo;

@SpringBootApplication
public class DemoApplication {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args);
    }
}

application.yml

server:
  port: 8081

spring:
  security:
    oauth2:

            issuer-uri: https://login.idp.com:443/idp/oauth2

Thanks @Codo. You saved my day. I did not have to use JwtHttpMessageConverter class though. I added the below in SecurityConfig class. I had to use JwksUri and SignatureAlgorithm.RS512 in my situation.

@Bean
public SecurityFilterChain filterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
     
    http.
    authorizeRequests().
    anyRequest().authenticated().
    and().
    oauth2Login().userInfoEndpoint().oidcUserService(oidcUserService());

    return http.build();    
}


OidcUserService oidcUserService() {
    logger.info("OidcUserService bean");
    OidcUserService userService = new OidcUserService();
    //userService.setOauth2UserService(new ExampleOAuth2UserService(jwtDecoderUsingClientSecret("web-client")));
    userService.setOauth2UserService(new ExampleOAuth2UserService(jwtDecoder()));
    return userService;
}    

public JwtDecoder jwtDecoder() {
    String jwksUri =  Config.getJwksUri();
    System.out.println("jwtDecoder jwksUri="+jwksUri);
    return NimbusJwtDecoder.withJwkSetUri(jwksUri).jwsAlgorithm(SignatureAlgorithm.RS512).build();
}    

public class ExampleOAuth2UserService implements OAuth2UserService<OAuth2UserRequest, OAuth2User> { ............... ...............

private JwtDecoder jwtDecoder;


public ExampleAuth2UserService(JwtDecoder jwtDecoder) {
    this.jwtDecoder = jwtDecoder;
    RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
    restTemplate.setErrorHandler(new OAuth2ErrorResponseErrorHandler());
    this.restOperations = restTemplate;
}

After more analysis, it seems Spring Boot does not support UserInfo endpoints returning signed JWTs. It's obviously an unusual setup (but still within the OAuth 2.0 / OIDC specification). What I haven't mentioned so far is that the JWT is signed with the client secret.

While Spring Boot doesn't support it, it can be added. The solution consists of:

  • A user service supporting signed JWTs (as a replacment for DefaultOAuth2UserService)
  • A HttpMessageConverter supporting JWTs (used in the user service's RestTemplate)
  • A JwtDecoder using the client secret
  • A security configuration that puts the pieces together

Note that we have changed from OAuth 2.0 to OIDC in the mean-time, thus our application.yml now includes the openid scope.

spring:
  security:
    oauth2:
      client:
        registration:
          demo:
            client-id: our-client-id
            client-secret: our-client-secret
            clientAuthenticationMethod: post
            provider: our-idp
            scope:
              - profile
              - email
        provider:
          our-idp:
            issuer-uri: https://login.idp.com:443/idp/oauth2

The security configuration is:

package demoapp;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.oidc.userinfo.OidcUserService;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.registration.ClientRegistration;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.registration.ClientRegistrationRepository;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.jwt.JwtDecoder;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.jwt.NimbusJwtDecoder;

import javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec;
import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;

@Configuration
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    private final ClientRegistrationRepository clientRegistrationRepository;

    public SecurityConfig(ClientRegistrationRepository clientRegistrationRepository) {
        this.clientRegistrationRepository = clientRegistrationRepository;
    }

    @Override
    protected  void configure(HttpSecurity httpSecurity) throws Exception {
        httpSecurity
                .authorizeRequests()
                    .anyRequest().authenticated()
                    .and()
                .oauth2Login()
                    .userInfoEndpoint()
                        .oidcUserService(oidcUserService());
    }

    @Bean
    OidcUserService oidcUserService() {
        OidcUserService userService = new OidcUserService();
        userService.setOauth2UserService(new ValidatingOAuth2UserService(jwtDecoderUsingClientSecret("demo")));
        return userService;
    }

    JwtDecoder jwtDecoderUsingClientSecret(String registrationId) {
        ClientRegistration registration = clientRegistrationRepository.findByRegistrationId(registrationId);
        SecretKeySpec key = new SecretKeySpec(registration.getClientSecret().getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8), "HS256");
        return NimbusJwtDecoder.withSecretKey(key).build();
    }
}

If you are using OAuth 2.0 instead of OIDC (i.e. you don't use the scope 'openid'), the configuration is simpler:

package demo;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.oidc.userinfo.OidcUserService;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.registration.ClientRegistration;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.registration.ClientRegistrationRepository;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.jwt.JwtDecoder;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.jwt.NimbusJwtDecoder;

import javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec;
import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;

@Configuration
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    private final ClientRegistrationRepository clientRegistrationRepository;

    public SecurityConfig(ClientRegistrationRepository clientRegistrationRepository) {
        this.clientRegistrationRepository = clientRegistrationRepository;
    }

    @Override
    protected  void configure(HttpSecurity httpSecurity) throws Exception {
        httpSecurity
                .authorizeRequests()
                    .anyRequest().authenticated()
                    .and()
                .oauth2Login()
                    .userInfoEndpoint()
                        .userService(new ValidatingOAuth2UserService(jwtDecoderUsingClientSecret("demo")));
    }

    JwtDecoder jwtDecoderUsingClientSecret(String registrationId) {
        ClientRegistration registration = clientRegistrationRepository.findByRegistrationId(registrationId);
        SecretKeySpec key = new SecretKeySpec(registration.getClientSecret().getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8), "HS256");
        return NimbusJwtDecoder.withSecretKey(key).build();
    }
}
