how to get claims value from JWT token authentication

Question

I have set claims in JWT token in the token provider. now I want to get claim value through authentication when API is hit.

I have checked in Principal, details, credential, authorities but I am not getting claims in any of them.

Claims claims = Jwts.claims().setSubject(authentication.getName());
    claims.put(AUTHORITIES_KEY, authorities);
    claims.put("userId", userRepo.findUserIdByUsername(authentication.getName()));

   return Jwts.builder()
            .setSubject(authentication.getName())
            .setClaims(claims)
            //.claim(AUTHORITIES_KEY, authorities)
            .signWith(SignatureAlgorithm.HS512, SIGNING_KEY)
            .setIssuedAt(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()))
            .setExpiration(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() + ACCESS_TOKEN_VALIDITY_SECONDS*1000))
            .compact();

I want to get "userId" claim from the authentication or any other way to get claims value from token.

Answer 1

This is how I read Claim from Token

private Claims getAllClaimsFromToken(String token) {
        Claims claims;
        try {
            claims = Jwts.parser()
                    .setSigningKey(SECRET)
                    .parseClaimsJws(token)
                    .getBody();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            LOGGER.error("Could not get all claims Token from passed token");
            claims = null;
        }
        return claims;
    }

I am using this for JWT

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.jsonwebtoken</groupId>
    <artifactId>jjwt</artifactId>
    <version>0.9.0</version>
</dependency>

Adding Filter to get token from Request and Validate

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.servlet.FilterChain;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
import org.springframework.security.core.context.SecurityContextHolder;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetails;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService;
import org.springframework.web.filter.OncePerRequestFilter;

public class TokenAuthenticationFilter extends OncePerRequestFilter {

    protected final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(getClass());

    private TokenHelper tokenHelper;

    private UserDetailsService userDetailsService;

    public TokenAuthenticationFilter(TokenHelper tokenHelper, UserDetailsService userDetailsService) {
        this.tokenHelper = tokenHelper;
        this.userDetailsService = userDetailsService;
    }


    @Override
    public void doFilterInternal(
            HttpServletRequest request,
            HttpServletResponse response,
            FilterChain chain
    ) throws IOException, ServletException {

        String username;
        String authToken = tokenHelper.getToken(request);

        logger.info("AuthToken: "+authToken);

        if (authToken != null) {
            // get username from token
            username = tokenHelper.getUsernameFromToken(authToken);
            logger.info("UserName: "+username);
            if (username != null) {
                // get user
                UserDetails userDetails = userDetailsService.loadUserByUsername(username);
                if (tokenHelper.validateToken(authToken, userDetails)) {
                    // create authentication
                    TokenBasedAuthentication authentication = new TokenBasedAuthentication(userDetails);
                    authentication.setToken(authToken);
                    SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(authentication);
                }
            }else{
                logger.error("Something is wrong with Token.");
            }
        }
        chain.doFilter(request, response);
    }



}

Answer 2

// for retrieving any information from token we will need the signing key
private Claims getAllClaimsFromToken(String token) {
    return Jwts.parser().verifyWith(<SigningKey>).build().parseSignedClaims(token).getPayload();
}
