JWT Auth for Spring Boot

Full Stack Software Development Blog

I took what I learned in my last blog about JWT Authentication and Authorization and applied it to my Spring Boot server application.

Most of the time was spent updating the integration tests. Almost every endpoint now requires authentication. The test were enhanced to login a player which returns a token. The token is then passed in the HTTP Authorization header.

Another departure from the proof of concept in my last blog is to

• use the player table instead of the user table 
• use email instead of username
