== JWT Bearer

[NOTE]
Please refer to JSON Web Token (JWT) Profile for OAuth 2.0 Client Authentication and Authorization Grants for further details on https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7523#section-2.2[JWT Bearer] Client Authentication.

The default implementation for JWT Bearer Client Authentication is `NimbusJwtClientAuthenticationParametersConverter`,
which is a `Converter` that customizes the Token Request parameters by adding
a signed JSON Web Token (JWS) in the `client_assertion` parameter.

The `java.security.PrivateKey` or `javax.crypto.SecretKey` used for signing the JWS
is supplied by the `com.nimbusds.jose.jwk.JWK` resolver associated with `NimbusJwtClientAuthenticationParametersConverter`.


=== Authenticate using `private_key_jwt`

Given the following Spring Boot 2.x properties for an OAuth 2.0 Client registration:

[source,yaml]
----
spring:
  security:
    oauth2:
      client:
        registration:
          okta:
            client-id: okta-client-id
            client-authentication-method: private_key_jwt
            authorization-grant-type: authorization_code
            ...
----

The following example shows how to configure `WebClientReactiveAuthorizationCodeTokenResponseClient`:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
Function<ClientRegistration, JWK> jwkResolver = (clientRegistration) -> {
	if (clientRegistration.getClientAuthenticationMethod().equals(ClientAuthenticationMethod.PRIVATE_KEY_JWT)) {
		// Assuming RSA key type
		RSAPublicKey publicKey = ...
		RSAPrivateKey privateKey = ...
		return new RSAKey.Builder(publicKey)
				.privateKey(privateKey)
				.keyID(UUID.randomUUID().toString())
				.build();
	}
	return null;
};

WebClientReactiveAuthorizationCodeTokenResponseClient tokenResponseClient =
		new WebClientReactiveAuthorizationCodeTokenResponseClient();
tokenResponseClient.addParametersConverter(
		new NimbusJwtClientAuthenticationParametersConverter<>(jwkResolver));

val jwkResolver: Function<ClientRegistration, JWK> =
    Function<ClientRegistration, JWK> { clientRegistration ->

            // Assuming RSA key type
            var publicKey: RSAPublicKey = ...
            var privateKey: RSAPrivateKey = ...
            RSAKey.Builder(publicKey)
                    .privateKey(privateKey)
                    .keyID(UUID.randomUUID().toString())
                .build()
        }
        null
    }

val tokenResponseClient = WebClientReactiveAuthorizationCodeTokenResponseClient()
tokenResponseClient.addParametersConverter(
    NimbusJwtClientAuthenticationParametersConverter(jwkResolver)

=== Authenticate using `client_secret_jwt`

Given the following Spring Boot 2.x properties for an OAuth 2.0 Client registration:

[source,yaml]
----
spring:
  security:
    oauth2:
      client:
        registration:
          okta:
            client-id: okta-client-id
            client-secret: okta-client-secret
            client-authentication-method: client_secret_jwt
            authorization-grant-type: client_credentials
            ...
----

The following example shows how to configure `WebClientReactiveClientCredentialsTokenResponseClient`:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
Function<ClientRegistration, JWK> jwkResolver = (clientRegistration) -> {
	if (clientRegistration.getClientAuthenticationMethod().equals(ClientAuthenticationMethod.CLIENT_SECRET_JWT)) {
		SecretKeySpec secretKey = new SecretKeySpec(
				clientRegistration.getClientSecret().getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8),
				"HmacSHA256");
		return new OctetSequenceKey.Builder(secretKey)
				.keyID(UUID.randomUUID().toString())
				.build();
	}
	return null;
};

WebClientReactiveClientCredentialsTokenResponseClient tokenResponseClient =
		new WebClientReactiveClientCredentialsTokenResponseClient();
tokenResponseClient.addParametersConverter(
		new NimbusJwtClientAuthenticationParametersConverter<>(jwkResolver));

Kotlin::

[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]

val jwkResolver = Function<ClientRegistration, JWK?> { clientRegistration: ClientRegistration ->
    if (clientRegistration.clientAuthenticationMethod == ClientAuthenticationMethod.CLIENT_SECRET_JWT) {
        val secretKey = SecretKeySpec(
            clientRegistration.clientSecret.toByteArray(StandardCharsets.UTF_8),
            "HmacSHA256"
        )
        OctetSequenceKey.Builder(secretKey)
            .keyID(UUID.randomUUID().toString())

val tokenResponseClient = WebClientReactiveClientCredentialsTokenResponseClient()
tokenResponseClient.addParametersConverter(

=== Customizing the JWT assertion

The JWT produced by `NimbusJwtClientAuthenticationParametersConverter` contains the `iss`, `sub`, `aud`, `jti`, `iat` and `exp` claims by default. You can customize the headers and/or claims by providing a `Consumer<NimbusJwtClientAuthenticationParametersConverter.JwtClientAuthenticationContext<T>>` to `setJwtClientAssertionCustomizer()`. The following example shows how to customize claims of the JWT:

[tabs]
======
Java::
+
[source,java,role="primary"]
----
Function<ClientRegistration, JWK> jwkResolver = ...

NimbusJwtClientAuthenticationParametersConverter<OAuth2ClientCredentialsGrantRequest> converter =
		new NimbusJwtClientAuthenticationParametersConverter<>(jwkResolver);
converter.setJwtClientAssertionCustomizer((context) -> {
	context.getHeaders().header("custom-header", "header-value");
	context.getClaims().claim("custom-claim", "claim-value");
});
----

Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
val jwkResolver = ...

val converter: NimbusJwtClientAuthenticationParametersConverter<OAuth2ClientCredentialsGrantRequest> =
    NimbusJwtClientAuthenticationParametersConverter(jwkResolver)
converter.setJwtClientAssertionCustomizer { context ->
    context.headers.header("custom-header", "header-value")
    context.claims.claim("custom-claim", "claim-value")
}
