Protect a web application by using OpenID Connect (OIDC) authorization code flow
Discover how to secure application HTTP endpoints by using the Quarkus OpenID Connect (OIDC) authorization code flow mechanism with the Quarkus OIDC extension, providing robust authentication and authorization.
For more information, see OIDC code flow mechanism for protecting web applications.
To learn about how well-known social providers such as Apple, Facebook, GitHub, Google, Mastodon, Microsoft, Spotify, Twitch, and X (formerly Twitter) can be used with Quarkus OIDC, see Configuring well-known OpenID Connect providers. See also, Authentication mechanisms in Quarkus.

Pré-requisitos
Para concluir este guia, você precisa:
-
Cerca de 15 minutos
-
Um IDE
-
JDK 17+ installed with
JAVA_HOMEconfigured appropriately -
Apache Maven 3.9.9
-
Um container runtime instalado (Docker ou Podman)
-
Opcionalmente, o Quarkus CLI se você quiser usá-lo
-
Opcionalmente, Mandrel ou GraalVM instalado e configurado apropriadamente se você quiser criar um executável nativo (ou Docker se você usar uma compilação de contêiner nativo)
Arquitetura
In this example, we build a simple web application with a single page:
-
/index.html
This page is protected, and only authenticated users can access it.
Solução
Follow the instructions in the next sections and create the application step by step. Alternatively, you can go right to the completed example.
Clone the Git repository by running the git clone https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus-quickstarts.git command.
Alternatively, download an archive.
The solution is located in the security-openid-connect-web-authentication-quickstart directory.
1. Crie o projeto Maven
First, we need a new project. Create a new project by running the following command:
Para usuários do Windows:
-
Se estiver usando cmd, (não use barra invertida '\' e coloque tudo na mesma linha)
-
Se estiver usando o Powershell, envolva os parâmetros '-D' entre aspas duplas, por exemplo, '"-DprojectArtifactId=security-openid-connect-web-authentication-quickstart"'
If you already have your Quarkus project configured, you can add the oidc extension to your project by running the following command in your project base directory:
quarkus extension add oidc./mvnw quarkus:add-extension -Dextensions='oidc'./gradlew addExtension --extensions='oidc'This adds the following dependency to your build file:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
<artifactId>quarkus-oidc</artifactId>
</dependency>implementation("io.quarkus:quarkus-oidc")2. Escreva a aplicação
Let’s write a simple Jakarta REST resource that has all the tokens returned in the authorization code grant response injected:
package org.acme.security.openid.connect.web.authentication;
import jakarta.inject.Inject;
import jakarta.ws.rs.GET;
import jakarta.ws.rs.Path;
import jakarta.ws.rs.Produces;
import org.eclipse.microprofile.jwt.Claims;
import org.eclipse.microprofile.jwt.JsonWebToken;
import io.quarkus.oidc.IdToken;
import io.quarkus.oidc.RefreshToken;
@Path("/tokens")
public class TokenResource {
/**
* Injection point for the ID token issued by the OpenID Connect provider
*/
@Inject
@IdToken
JsonWebToken idToken;
/**
* Injection point for the access token issued by the OpenID Connect provider
*/
@Inject
JsonWebToken accessToken;
/**
* Injection point for the refresh token issued by the OpenID Connect provider
*/
@Inject
RefreshToken refreshToken;
/**
* Returns the tokens available to the application.
* This endpoint exists only for demonstration purposes.
* Do not expose these tokens in a real application.
*
* @return an HTML page containing the tokens available to the application.
*/
@GET
@Produces("text/html")
public String getTokens() {
StringBuilder response = new StringBuilder().append("<html>")
.append("<body>")
.append("<ul>");
Object userName = this.idToken.getClaim(Claims.preferred_username);
if (userName != null) {
response.append("<li>username: ").append(userName.toString()).append("</li>");
}
Object scopes = this.accessToken.getClaim("scope");
if (scopes != null) {
response.append("<li>scopes: ").append(scopes.toString()).append("</li>");
}
response.append("<li>refresh_token: ").append(refreshToken.getToken() != null).append("</li>");
return response.append("</ul>").append("</body>").append("</html>").toString();
}
}This endpoint has ID, access, and refresh tokens injected.
It returns a preferred_username claim from the ID token, a scope claim from the access token, and a refresh token availability status.
You only need to inject the tokens if the endpoint needs to use the ID token to interact with the currently authenticated user or use the access token to access a downstream service on behalf of this user.
For more information, see the Access ID and Access Tokens section of the reference guide.
3. Configure a aplicação
The OIDC extension allows you to define the configuration by using the application.properties file in the src/main/resources directory.
%prod.quarkus.oidc.auth-server-url=http://localhost:8180/realms/quarkus
quarkus.oidc.client-id=frontend
quarkus.oidc.credentials.secret=secret
quarkus.oidc.application-type=web-app
quarkus.http.auth.permission.authenticated.paths=/*
quarkus.http.auth.permission.authenticated.policy=authenticatedThis is the simplest configuration you can have when enabling authentication to your application.
The quarkus.oidc.client-id property references the client_id issued by the OIDC provider, and the quarkus.oidc.credentials.secret property sets the client secret.
The quarkus.oidc.application-type property is set to web-app to tell Quarkus that you want to enable the OIDC authorization code flow so that your users are redirected to the OIDC provider to authenticate.
Finally, the quarkus.http.auth.permission.authenticated permission is set to tell Quarkus about the paths you want to protect.
In this case, all paths are protected by a policy that ensures only authenticated users can access them.
For more information, see Security Authorization Guide.

When you do not configure a client secret with The The encryption secret is recommended to be 32 chars long. For example, |
4. Start and configure the Keycloak server
To start a Keycloak server, use Docker and run the following command:
docker run --name keycloak -e KEYCLOAK_ADMIN=admin -e KEYCLOAK_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin -p 8180:8080 quay.io/keycloak/keycloak:{keycloak.version} start-devwhere keycloak.version is set to 25.0.6 or later.
You can access your Keycloak Server at localhost:8180.
To access the Keycloak Administration Console, log in as the admin user.
The username and password are both admin.
To create a new realm, import the realm configuration file. For more information, see the Keycloak documentation about how to create and configure a new realm.
5. Run the application in dev and JVM modes
To run the application in dev mode, use:
quarkus dev./mvnw quarkus:dev./gradlew --console=plain quarkusDevAfter exploring the application in dev mode, you can run it as a standard Java application.
First, compile it:
quarkus build./mvnw install./gradlew buildThen, run it:
java -jar target/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar6. Run the application in Native mode
This same demo can be compiled into native code. No modifications are required.
This implies that you no longer need to install a JVM on your production environment, as the runtime technology is included in the produced binary and optimized to run with minimal resources.
Compilation takes longer, so this step is turned off by default. You can build again by enabling the native build:
quarkus build --native./mvnw install -Dnative./gradlew build -Dquarkus.native.enabled=trueAfter a while, you can run this binary directly:
./target/security-openid-connect-web-authentication-quickstart-runner7. Test the application
To test the application, open your browser and access the following URL:
If everything works as expected, you are redirected to the Keycloak server to authenticate.
To authenticate to the application, enter the following credentials at the Keycloak login page:
-
Username: alice
-
Password: alice
After clicking the Login button, you are redirected back to the application, and a session cookie will be created.
The session for this demo is valid for a short period of time and, on every page refresh, you will be asked to re-authenticate.
For information about how to increase the session timeouts, see the Keycloak session timeout documentation.
For example, you can access the Keycloak Admin console directly from the dev UI by clicking the Keycloak Admin link if you use Dev Services for Keycloak in dev mode:
For more information about writing the integration tests that depend on Dev Services for Keycloak, see the Dev Services for Keycloak section.
Summary
You have learned how to set up and use the OIDC authorization code flow mechanism to protect and test application HTTP endpoints. After you have completed this tutorial, explore OIDC Bearer token authentication and other authentication mechanisms.
