Overview

This Authentication Service is a Spring Boot application that provides token generation and validation using JWT (JSON Web Token). It does not include filters or security configuration. These must be implemented by the users of this project.

Features

• Generates JWT tokens for authentication
• Validates JWT tokens
• Lightweight and easy to integrate with other Spring Boot applications

Technologies Used

• Spring Boot - For building the backend service
• Hibernate JPA - For ORM (Object Relational Mapping)
• MySQL - As the database
• JWT - For secure token-based authentication

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone (https://github.com/NikhilKashyap22/Centralised-Authentication-System.git)

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd authentication-service

3. Build the project using Maven:

   mvn clean install

4. Run the application:

   mvn spring-boot:run

Usage

Generate Token

To generate a JWT token, send a POST request to:

POST /api/auth/login

with the required payload.

Validate Token

To validate a JWT token, send a POST request to:

POST /api/auth/validate

with the token in the request body.

Important Notes

• This project only generates and validates JWT tokens.
• Filters and security configuration are not included and must be implemented separately.
• Users must handle authentication, user management, and security filters in their own application.
