Microservices - Authentication

[rajesh-ryse]

Hello,

Every microservice that I create via jHipster, has code for user authentication using email & password.

Is this really needed for each microservice?
We rely on central authentication before a request hits any microservice. The service should just deal with the authentication token for roles.

Please advise.

Thanks!

If you use OAuth, you can use an external identity provider.

why a microservice need OAuth or any authentication logic, when a user is authenticated before its request hits the microservice?
