So far in this series, we've covered Getting Started and Hiding Services with Spring Cloud Gateway. However, when we set about hiding our services, we didn't secure them. In this article, we'll correct this.

To secure our services, we'll use the Token Relay pattern supported by OAuth 2.0 and the Javascript Object Signing & Encryption (JOSE) and JSON Web Tokens standards. This will give our users a means to identify themselves, authorize applications to view their profile and access the secured resources behind the gateway.

All the code for this demo is published online in GitHub in the secured-gateway folder. If you just want to run it without understanding how it was built, skip ahead to the section entitled "Running The Demo".

We are pleased to announce the second Milestone of the Spring Cloud Function 3.0.0.M2.

As mentioned in the announcement last year, the Spring Boot 1.x line has reached end of life. Spring Boot 1.5.22 which was released earlier today will be the last release in the 1.x. line.

We expect most users to have upgraded their applications to Spring Boot 2.x. For those that haven't migrated yet, we strongly advise doing so as soon as possible. There are detailed instructions on how to migrate from 1.x to 2.x in the migration guide. For a smooth upgrade experience, we recommend upgrading in phases instead of jumping straight to the latest stable release. Once the upgrade from the latest…
