JakartaEE 10 OpenIdAuthenticationMechanism failed with Auth0

Question

Got help from the Redhat guy, finally my example works with Local KeyCloak(in Docker) as well as Okta.

My example is here: https://github.com/hantsy/jakartaee10-sandbox/tree/master/security-oidc

And I used the following stack when preparing the example codes.

• Java 17
• Jakarta EE 10
• Wildfly Preview 27.0.0.Alpha5

But for the Auth0, it always throws a NPE when returning back to my application.

Error processing request
Context Path:
/security-oidc-examples

Servlet Path:
/callback

Path Info:
null

I have checked the auth0 console, there is a Client Login and Success Exchange log in the user History tab. Thus the access token is authorized in the Auth0 side.

To reproduce it, follow these steps:

• Check out the exmaple codes
• Create a regular web application in Auth0 and setup domain, clientId and clientSecret in the openid.properties file
• Run mvn clean package wildfly:run -Pwildfly
• Open a browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/security-oidc-examples/protected

Update: tried on WildFly 27.0.0.Beta1, got the same exception.

Answer 1

Finally I got it work by adding the jwksReadTimeout = 5000 to the @OpenIdAuthenticationMechanismDefinition.

The Jakarta EE Security implementation does not throw the raw exception message to developers, it is very difficult to find the root cause. I tried to clone the soteria project and added some debug info and changed to catch all exceptions (catch(Exception e){}) in the AccessTokenImpl, I used my custom build version to replace the WildFly built-in module, and finally find the reason.

This maybe only a specific network issue on my side.

Answer 2

I ran into the exact same problem with Jakarta EE 10 OIDC, Auth0, and Wildfly 27. What I discovered was that Auth0 returns an opaque token by default unless an audience is specified. Jakarta's Security 3 was unable to validate the opaque token or get any claims from it, causing the jwtClaimsSet is null error.

I found that I had to add an audience to the extraParameters parameter of the annotation. The audience is an API created on Auth0. This caused Auth0 to send a non-opaque token, which Jakarta was then able to unpack and validate.

@OpenIdAuthenticationMechanismDefinition(
        providerURI = "${openIdConfig.issuerUri}",
        clientId = "${openIdConfig.clientId}",
        clientSecret = "${openIdConfig.clientSecret}",
        redirectURI = "${baseURL}/callback",
        // default 500ms caused timeouts for me
        jwksConnectTimeout = 5000,
        jwksReadTimeout = 5000,
        extraParameters = {"audience=http://my-api"}
)
