Spring Security Active Directory Authentication - infinite login pop-up - spring

Question

I am using Spring Boot (2.7.2) security. My security config is:
public class WebSecurityConfig {
#Bean
public SecurityFilterChain filterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.authorizeRequests().anyRequest().fullyAuthenticated().and().httpBasic();
return http.build();
}
#Bean
public AuthenticationProvider activeDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider() {
ActiveDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider provider = new ActiveDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider(
"company.com", "ldap://ldap-company.com:389");
provider.setSearchFilter("(&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName={0}))");
provider.setConvertSubErrorCodesToExceptions(true);
provider.setUseAuthenticationRequestCredentials(true);
return provider;
}
}
Now when I hit my URI I keep getting the login pop-up infinitely.
The username and password I am providing is correct. No error(s) at the console whatsoever.
What am I doing wrong here or missing?

While I am still waiting for the right answer, I got the idea from here and it works.
So this is what I ended up with:
public class WebSecurityConfig extends GlobalAuthenticationConfigurerAdapter {
#Bean
public SecurityFilterChain filterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.authorizeRequests().anyRequest().authenticated()
// .fullyAuthenticated()
.and().httpBasic();
return http.build();
}
#Override
public void init(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
DefaultSpringSecurityContextSource contextSource = new DefaultSpringSecurityContextSource(
"ldap://ldap-company.com:389/dc=company,dc=com");
contextSource.setUserDn("CN=MYBindUser,OU=Ldap,dc=COMPANY,dc=com");
contextSource.setPassword("ComplexP#ssw0rd");
contextSource.setReferral("follow");
contextSource.afterPropertiesSet();
LdapAuthenticationProviderConfigurer<AuthenticationManagerBuilder> ldapAuthenticationProviderConfigurer = auth
.ldapAuthentication();
ldapAuthenticationProviderConfigurer
.userSearchFilter("(&(cn={0}))")
// .userSearchFilter("(sAMAccountName=%s)")
.userSearchBase("")
// .groupSearchBase("(&(objectCategory=group)(cn={0}))")
.contextSource(contextSource);
}
}
Now my HTTPBasic Authentication with ActiveDirectory LDAP works just fine.
