The Spring Authorization Server project provides software support and is documented in its support policy.

The first place to start is to read the OAuth 2.1 Authorization Framework to gain an in-depth understanding on how to build an Authorization Server. It is a critically important first step as the implementation must conform to the specification defined in the OAuth 2.1 Authorization Framework and the related specifications.

The second place to start is to become very familiar with the codebase in the following Spring Security modules:

• OAuth 2.0 Core

• OAuth 2.0 Client

• OAuth 2.0 Resource Server

• OAuth 2.0 JOSE (Javascript Object Signing and Encryption)

A significant amount of effort was put into developing the Next Generation OAuth 2.0 Support in Spring Security. The goal is to leverage all the knowledge learned thus far and apply the same to the development of Spring Authorization Server.

Submitted work via pull requests should follow the same coding style/conventions and adopt the same or similar design patterns that have been established in Spring Security’s OAuth 2.0 support.

Be sure to read the Spring Security Reference, as well as the OAuth 2.0 Reference, which describes the Client and Resource Server features available.

Extensive JavaDoc for the Spring Security code is also available in the Spring Security API Documentation.
