What is the import path for @EnableAuthorizationServer annotation

Issue

I am trying to make sense of Spring Authorization Server.

Following various tutorials, and the original documentation, pretty much the first step after configuring dependencies –

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-webflux'
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-security'
    implementation 'org.springframework.security:spring-security-oauth2-authorization-server:0.2.1'
//  other db/test stuff
}

– is to add the @EnableAuthorizationServer annotation to the main class.

Except my IDE (NetBeans) doesn't have a clue, from the imports, what that refers to.

So: what's the import path supposed to be for @EnableAuthorizationServer? (And, logically, is there some other dependency needed that to have it recognised?)

Solution

In the new Spring Authorization Server, you don't need the @EnableAuthorizationServer. This annotation is from the old spring-security-oauth module, which is deprecated.

The key is the SecurityFilterChain, which should have a higher precedence, like so:

@Bean
@Order(Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE)
public SecurityFilterChain authorizationServerSecurityFilterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
    OAuth2AuthorizationServerConfiguration.applyDefaultSecurity(http);
    return http.formLogin(Customizer.withDefaults()).build();
}

I recommend you to take a look at the samples in the official repository.
