Firebase Spring Boot Rest API Authentication

Firebase Authentication for Spring boot

Firebase is a backendless platform to run applications without dedicated backend. But, sometimes you may need to communicate with API of an exisiting backend or you may want a dedicated backend to perform operations that cannot be done using firebase infrastructure .

This Spring Boot Starter is perfect for such situations when you want to extend firebase's authentication menchanism with Spring Security to seamlessly create and use protected rest API's.

Configuration

• Be sure to add the following environment variable globally or project specific run configuration environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=path_to_firebase_server_config.json

• The starter can be configured to use firebase session as client side / strictly server side or both together.

• Htty Only / Secure enabled Session cookies may not work as expected in development hosts (localhost, 120.0.0.1). Adding self signed ssl certificate with reverse proxied host will work perfectly fine.

• Following application properties can edited to customize for your needs. Sample @ application.yaml
