Using Spring security oauth, using a custom OAuth provider, I get [authorization_request_not_found], should I handle the callback method myself?

Question

Using Spring Security 5 oauth I successfully ran through the whole authentication/authorization cycle using Google as OAuth provider, but I am stuck if I use an OAuth provider that I made myself, running on a different application.

I'm using the following 2 dependencies:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-security-oauth2-client</artifactId>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-security-oauth2-jose</artifactId>
        </dependency>

Using Google, I just configured this:

spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.google.client-id=xxx
spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.google.client-secret=xxx

When using Google (or Facebook, Github or Okta), there is a default configuration that takes care of other settings.

Now I created my own OAuth provider. This is also a Spring Boot application configured with @EnableAuthorizationServer and otherwise fairly standard, though it has custom principals. This is also running on localhost but port 8081. The configuration in the resource server is as such:

spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.bx.client-id=xxx
spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.bx.client-secret=xxx
spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.bx.client-name=bx
spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.bx.provider=bx
spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.bx.scope=user
spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.bx.redirect-uri-template=http://localhost:8080/login/oauth2/code/bx
spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.bx.client-authentication-method=basic
spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.bx.authorization-grant-type=authorization_code

spring.security.oauth2.client.provider.bx.authorization-uri=http://localhost:8081/oauth/authorize
spring.security.oauth2.client.provider.bx.token-uri=http://localhost:8081/oauth/token
spring.security.oauth2.client.provider.bx.user-info-uri=http://localhost:8081/oauth/userInfo
spring.security.oauth2.client.provider.bx.user-name-attribute=name

When trying to use this to log in I am properly redirected to the OAuth provider, where I can log in and allow access to the requested scope using the default generated interface:

After hitting authorize, I get stuck on the callback part. I can see a callback to

http://localhost:8080/login/oauth2/code/bx?code=xxx&state=xxx

coming back from the oauth server and this results in a default HTML page in Spring being shown with the information:

Your login attempt was not successful, try again.

Reason: [authorization_request_not_found]

Login with OAuth 2.0

The log in the resource server is quite long, but I extracted the helpful part:

    at org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.web.OAuth2LoginAuthenticationFilter.attemptAuthentication(OAuth2LoginAuthenticationFilter.java:145)

... and some more stack trace that doesn't seem relevant

When looking at the source code of where the exception is being thrown, from https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-security/blob/master/oauth2/oauth2-client/src/main/java/org/springframework/security/oauth2/client/web/OAuth2LoginAuthenticationFilter.java it is showing the following code starting at line 145:

OAuth2AuthorizationRequest authorizationRequest = this.authorizationRequestRepository.removeAuthorizationRequest(request);
        if (authorizationRequest == null) {
            OAuth2Error oauth2Error = new OAuth2Error(AUTHORIZATION_REQUEST_NOT_FOUND_ERROR_CODE);
            throw new OAuth2AuthenticationException(oauth2Error, oauth2Error.toString());
}

What does this message mean exactly? How could I have gotten in this state?

Or am I supposed to add a handler myself for the callback url and write custom code to obtain the actual access token? Surely the library should be handling this? Why is this case handled automatically for Google as OAuth provider?

I'm happy to provide any code/further configuration.

Answer 1

These error means , that authorization request doesn't found. authorization request is stored in session, so some how session is not getting stored. by default session is managed by cookie.

So I think that might be because you are running everything on localhost, so first cookie is set by localhost:8080 to store the authorization request session data, & when you login to localhost:8081 it'll set another cookie for it's session.

Answer 2

I have the same issue like you. After I researched this problem i found the answer on https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-security/issues/5946. The only thing you need is config you hosts file. Here is my config. I'm using Windows:

*127.0.0.1 localhost auth-server*

May be it's helpful. I'm using Google translate to write the answer.
