Decoding and Validating JWTs
Learn how the Resource Server automatically decodes and validates JWTs issued by an Authorization Server.
Resource Server & JWTs
Welcome to this lesson! We'll explore how a Spring Security OAuth2 Resource Server automatically handles JSON Web Tokens (JWTs).
You'll learn about the decoding and validation processes that protect your API endpoints.
The Resource Server's Role
A Resource Server is an application that hosts protected resources (like API endpoints or data) and needs to verify who is trying to access them.
It relies on an Authorization Server to issue tokens (like JWTs) that grant access. The Resource Server then validates these tokens.
