=== Authenticate using `client_secret_basic`

Client Authentication with HTTP Basic is supported out of the box and no customization is necessary to enable it.
The default implementation is provided by `DefaultOAuth2TokenRequestHeadersConverter`.

Given the following Spring Boot properties for an OAuth 2.0 client registration:

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

The following example shows how to configure `WebClientReactiveAuthorizationCodeTokenResponseClient` to disable URL encoding of the client credentials:

[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`.

[[oauth2-client-authentication-jwt-bearer-assertion]]
=== 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:

	context.getHeaders().header("custom-header", "header-value");
	context.getClaims().claim("custom-claim", "claim-value");
});

[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]

val jwkResolver = ...

val converter: NimbusJwtClientAuthenticationParametersConverter<OAuth2ClientCredentialsGrantRequest> =
    NimbusJwtClientAuthenticationParametersConverter(jwkResolver)

    context.claims.claim("custom-claim", "claim-value")

[[oauth2-client-authentication-public]]

Public Client Authentication is supported out of the box and no customization is necessary to enable it.

The following Spring Boot properties for an OAuth 2.0 client registration demonstrate the configuration:

[source,yaml]
----
spring:
  security:
    oauth2:
      client:
        registration:

            authorization-grant-type: authorization_code
            ...

[NOTE]
====
Public Clients are supported using https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7636[Proof Key for Code Exchange] (PKCE).
PKCE will automatically be used when `client-authentication-method` is set to "none" (`ClientAuthenticationMethod.NONE`).
