Spring Cloud Netflix Use OAuth2 at Eureka Server for authentication

Hi, Is it possible to use OAuth2 at eureka server to authenticate eureka clients before registration , instead of using the basic Auth. Any documentation would be helpful.

Thanks

No we don't. It might be doable depending on the auth flow. We don't have any plans to implement it though.

@ryanjbaxter Thanks for the response. So is basic authentication the only way to authenticate clients before registering to eureka?

Currently yes https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-static/spring-cloud-netflix/2.2.3.RELEASE/reference/html/#authenticating-with-the-eureka-server

Hi @ryanjbaxter. In case of basic authentication, does eureka clients authenticate only while registering or do they authenticate every time they send heart beat to eureka server.

Reason i am enquiring about this.. Even if we custom implement to integrate oauth flow.. We want this authentication to happen only while registering
