Description
Expected Behavior
You should be able to use the oauth2.client.registration to configure the application to use the Federated token for client authentication in the Oauth2 Authorization Code Grant Flow.
i.e.
spring:
security:
oauth2:
client:
registration:
azure:
provider: azure
client-id: <CLIENT_ID>
federated-token-file-path: <PATH TO FILE>
scope: <SCOPE LIST>
Spring Security should handle reading in the token file and updating it when the token expires and is rotated.
The following parameters should be added to the request:
client_assertion_type: "urn:ietf:params:oauth:client-assertion-type:jwt-bearer"
client_assertion: <FEDERATED_TOKEN>
Implementation for spring-web is straight forward for non-reactive spring-web but will be more complex for reactive spring-webflux as reading a file is a blocking method.
Current Behavior
Currently this is not supported out of box. It can be achieved through custom parameter converters.

Research direction
Start with RestClientAuthorizationCodeTokenResponseClient and the existing parameter-converter extension point described in the issue, then compare the non-reactive and reactive OAuth2 authorization-code token flows. Done means oauth2.client.registration accepts federated-token-file-path, refreshes the rotated token, and sends the client_assertion parameters in both flows.
