JWT Authentication and Authorization using Spring Security

The aim of this project was to tinker around with Spring Security and implement JWT using user-defined roles.

Tools

• Java 11
• Spring Boot 2.7.4
• PostgreSQL 14

Usage

• Update spring.datasource values in application.properties
• Update the expiration time for access_token (default: 10 minutes) and refresh_token (default: 30 minutes) in FilterUtils according to your needs.

Future

This project will act as a template for my future Spring Boot projects that require JWT-based authentication and authorization. The structure of this project is fairly simple so refactoring can be done with ease, as and when necessary based on the requirements of new projects.
