Ankur Mhatre 38c0a5f358 Add Spring Authorization Server project: OAuth2/OIDC provider, client and resource server
Three modules on Spring Boot 4.1.1 with Spring Authorization Server 7.1.1: the provider
itself, a relying party, and an API that trusts its tokens. Client registration, PKCE,
a custom consent page and token customisation, with profiles that make each failure
reproducible.

Every claim is backed by captured output in docs/output/as-*.txt, regenerated by
authorization-server/scripts/run-all.sh. Notable findings, verified against the jars:

  - OAuth2AuthorizationServerConfiguration.applyDefaultSecurity(HttpSecurity) was deleted
    in 7.0, and both configuration classes moved into spring-security-config
  - ClientSettings.requireProofKey flipped from false to true, on the authorization server
    (1.5.8 -> 7.1.1) and on the OAuth2 client (6.5.1 -> 7.1.1)
  - requireProofKey(false) does not make PKCE optional for a public client; the code
    verifier is that client's only authentication at the token endpoint
  - MediaTypeRequestMatcher(TEXT_HTML) matches Accept: */*, so the token endpoint answers
    API callers with 302 -> /login unless setIgnoredMediaTypes(ALL) is called

Also renames the repository to spring-auth-demo and cross-links the new chapter set from
the existing documentation.

------------------------------------------------------------------
== PKCE parameters (RFC 7636)
------------------------------------------------------------------
code_verifier C9PyP-Bxq-_AwoSFt1hAHGO6klWLddojkvIaIR1-vTzzTkjtc6o9c71G-yVYQwKf (64 chars)
code_challenge FlJK8n-vjKPJ9-ZQPGrBm4JqIvhUotk67SUZRkXXJ3o
code_challenge_method S256
The verifier never leaves the client until the token request. The challenge is
all the authorization request carries, and it is a one-way hash of the verifier.
------------------------------------------------------------------
== 1. Log in to the authorization server (browser session)
------------------------------------------------------------------
$ curl -c jar -d username=alice -d password=password -d _csrf=<token> http://localhost:9000/login
HTTP/1.1 302
Location: http://localhost:9000/
------------------------------------------------------------------
== 2. GET /oauth2/authorize (client=demo-spa)
------------------------------------------------------------------
$ curl -b jar 'http://localhost:9000/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=demo-spa&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2F127.0.0.1%3A8080%2Fauthorized&scope=openid%20orders.read&state=xyz123&code_challenge=FlJK8n-vjKPJ9-ZQPGrBm4JqIvhUotk67SUZRkXXJ3o&code_challenge_method=S256'
-> 302 http://localhost:9000/oauth2/consent?scope=openid%20orders.read&client_id=demo-spa&state=s4VpkAnwpXo3Q9sekOo3MJVSaZgwc_AJnZMNIqcHvpE%3D
------------------------------------------------------------------
== 3. The consent page
------------------------------------------------------------------
The authorization endpoint redirected to OUR page, at the path given to
.consentPage("/oauth2/consent"). Note the query string it hands over:
http://localhost:9000/oauth2/consent?scope=openid%20orders.read
client_id=demo-spa
state=s4VpkAnwpXo3Q9sekOo3MJVSaZgwc_AJnZMNIqcHvpE%3D
Scopes rendered as checkboxes (openid deliberately not among them):
orders.read
The hidden state the form must echo back: s4VpkAnwpXo3Q9sekOo3MJVSaZgwc_AJnZMNIqcHvpE=
(this is NOT the client's state=xyz123 - it is the server's own correlation
handle for the pending authorization request, and sending the client's value
instead is what produces the consent redirect loop)
------------------------------------------------------------------
== 4. POST the approval to /oauth2/authorize
------------------------------------------------------------------
$ curl -b jar -X POST -d client_id=demo-spa -d state=s4VpkAnwpXo3Q9sekOo3MJVSaZgwc_AJnZMNIqcHvpE= -d _csrf=pQeZvH9HfbMeKSIJ5Tgv-82ImtETjf8f3pu1C0Ukgwnkyy9_lDX9iE12HNUzGRA_3RUbmqy9t-glv50y7qKGOiRCujHU_Eod -d scope=orders.read http://localhost:9000/oauth2/authorize
-> 302 http://127.0.0.1:8080/authorized?code=f5H5d-BObbl65Mzu2LE_Lg6QmVgG31gd_1__sJ28KSIjHqbr9yp0o4sq-Q9NqADqXc2Bemfdiod46rduBfDmvygYYvvhadjjn5ZQcYHGNfipjZoTQ4oxjDFQJYldbS4H&state=xyz123
------------------------------------------------------------------
== 5. The authorization code
------------------------------------------------------------------
code = f5H5d-BObbl65Mzu2LE_Lg6QmVgG31gd_1__sJ28KSIjHqbr9yp0o4sq-Q9NqADqXc2Bemfdiod46rduBfDmvygYYvvhadjjn5ZQcYHGNfipjZoTQ4oxjDFQJYldbS4H
state = xyz123 (the client's own value, returned untouched - compare it)
------------------------------------------------------------------
== 6a. Exchange the code WITHOUT the verifier
------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the request an attacker who stole the code can make.
HTTP 401
(empty response body)
>>> Rejected. invalid_grant is deliberately vague: the server will not tell
>>> a caller whether the code was wrong, expired, already used, or missing a
>>> verifier, because each of those is information an attacker can use.
Note: this consumed the code. Authorization codes are single-use, so the
successful exchange below needs a fresh one.
------------------------------------------------------------------
== 6b. A fresh code, exchanged properly
------------------------------------------------------------------
fresh code = 5eNIeklP92R9ihz7RAuR_3cwTdlRKhqMXLSVVyNGei_jHwwsTiFIpHe_4bDLIdO0GbrLkkQ4NWAOD5XE1u1gsNB7xtfNEf9t6zTEyeu0EQ4tEtklkKpGtnfGMsKU1XZR

aud is the CLIENT here, not the API. Sending this to a resource server is the
classic mix-up: it verifies (same issuer, same key) and then fails the audience
check, or worse, passes it if nobody checks audience.
