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

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate if Eureka server currently supports OAuth2 authentication for client registration. Review Spring Cloud Netflix's Eureka server configuration and Spring Security integration. Look into existing OAuth2 support in Spring Cloud Gateway or other components. Check the issue comments for maintainer feedback and any linked documentation or pull requests. Consider the feasibility of extending the Eureka server's authentication filter to support OAuth2 tokens.
