How to implement JWT authentication in Spring Security and Angular – Part 4

Posted on by nerdhutblog

Now that we’ve secured the backend with Spring security and implemented the basic JWT features, it’s time to allow users to log in from a user interface. In this example, I’ll show you how to implement a very basic authentication form in an Angular frontend. The pages, that may only be visited by authenticated users, will be protected by a special guard. For that purpose, I’ll show you how to implement such a guard and how to use the Angular router to redirect unauthenticated users to the login page.

How to implement JWT authentication in Spring Security and Angular – Part 3

Posted on by nerdhutblog

In this part of the series we’ll look at the most complex part of the project: Generating, reading, and validating JWT tokens. Our backend server will issue a token and return it to a requesting user. When a user tries to access a restricted resource, the token gets validated and, if the user is permitted, the resource can be accessed.

In this part of the series we’ll make sure that Spring Security restricts access to certain resources and uses our custom bearer token authorization method to allow authenticated users to access resources.

How to implement JWT authentication in Spring Security and Angular – Part 1

Posted on by nerdhutblog

I recently had to implement a bearer token authentication mechanism in a Spring backend and an Angular frontend. I wasn’t surprised to see that there are already a lot of tutorials around, however, I was shocked by how poorly most of them are written and how bad some solutions were. Now, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I want to claim that my solution is the state-of-the art single way to go. However, this has worked for me and I think it’s much easier to understand and follow than other guides. Additionally, there are a few things that almost all tutorials get wrong and I’ll try to address these as well.

How to use Websockets to control an ESP8266 and a Raspberry Pi with a web browser

Posted on by nerdhutblog

For a current project of mine, I had to evaluate how high the latency is when using websockets. In my case, I wanted to use a small single board computer as the server and any device, that can run a web browser, as the client. This tutorial illustrates how a Raspberry Pi and an ESP8266 can be used to act as a websocket server that can be controlled with a standard webbrowser.
