Zuul always requires auth on /oauth/token endpoint

When using the Zuul configuration from this project, the /oauth/token endpoint becomes unavailable. The live tests communicate with all the services directly, which is unrealistic. When changing all the ports to 8080 like they should’ve been, you find the following error:

2019-04-16 11:46:12.524 DEBUG 25207 --- [nio-8080-exec-1] o.s.s.w.a.ExceptionTranslationFilter     : Access is denied (user is anonymous); redirecting to authentication entry point

I created this by doing the following:

1. Go to /spring-security-oauth-master/oauth-resource-server-1/src/test/java/com/baeldung/live/PasswordFlowLiveTest.java
2. Change the ports to 8080 (zuul)
3. Run any test

The obtainAccessToken() function will always fail, since it suddently requires auth.

I’m still unsure how to resolve this, any help would be appreciated… Thanks.

Sure, thanks @MagicLegend The test you referred to has now been moved to the oauth-legacy module. We are working on adding tests using the Zuul proxy, so it is relevant. Thanks for reporting it.

Hi @sampada07 ,

It has been over a year since I created this issue; and the project I worked on has been long finished. I see that the structure of the repo has changed, so I don’t know how relevant this issue is anymore. I assume you know what is and what isn’t relevant anymore. I have added a reference to the test I was talking about; since it doesn’t appear to exist anymore.

Thank you.
