Description:

AuthenticationCredentialsNotFoundException: An Authentication object was not found in the SecurityContext
while calling renewAccessToken.

The authorize is successful and I save the refreshToken from credentials in my UserDefaults.

        oauthswift.renewAccessToken(withRefreshToken: refreshToken, headers : nil ,success: { (credential, response, parameters) in
            print(credential.oauthToken)
            print(credential.oauthRefreshToken)
            completionHandler(true, credential.oauthToken,credential.oauthRefreshToken)
        } , failure: { (error) in
            print(error.localizedDescription)
            completionHandler(false, nil,nil)
        })

Hi, the normal authentification work well? or only renew failed?

I found in spring (java) the message AbstractSecurityInterceptor.authenticationNotFound=An Authentication object was not found in the SecurityContext

maybe some configuration must be done in server
I don`t think this is an OauthSwift issue

Hi. The normal authentication (authorize) do work and so I am able to receive token and refresh token at first place. But while renewing if I receive the issue which exactly does the same flow just different POST parameters (as I debugged) . I think it should not be a PCF issue but OAuth might be following different configuration for authorize and renew calls

@phimage So I found out that renew works after sometime and not when I just log in . While I was trying renew I was trying to renew just under the completion block of authorize. When I saved the refresh token for later and hit renew it worked. It might be a PivotalCloudFoundary issue but I got a hint in this answer here
