Step #1: Register the user.

Register a user at http://localhost:8080/#/register and make sure you can log in via the web interface.

Step #2: Obtain an OAuth2 token.

Information required for obtaining an OAuth2 token:

1. OAuth2 client id (see application.yml)
2. OAuth2 secret (see application.yml)
3. The user name and password used to register the new user.
4. Required scope/s

Then, obtain an OAuth 2 token from the server:

curl -X POST -vu client:secret http://localhost:8080/oauth/token -H "Accept: application/json" -d "username=username&password=password&grant_type=password&scope=read&client_id=clientid&client_secret=secret"

.. returns something like this:

{"access_token":"7916d326-0f7f-430f-8e32-c5135a121052","token_type":"bearer","refresh_token":"2c69ca58-a657-4780-b5d8-dc965d518e9e","expires_in":1037,"scope":"read"}

Step #3: Use the token in calls to protected resources:

Then, the auth token must be supplied in the header on every call:

curl http://localhost:8080/app/rest/books -H "Authorization: Bearer 7916d326-0f7f-430f-8e32-c5135a121052"
