I have Spring boot application as below
And the Web Security Config as
#Configuration
#EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.authorizeRequests().anyRequest().authenticated().and().formLogin();
}
#Override
protected void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
// #formatter:off
auth.inMemoryAuthentication().withUser("chiru").password("{noop}chiru").roles("ADMIN").and().withUser("user")
.password("{noop}user").roles("USER");
// #formatter:on
}
}
And the i have Repository as below
public interface IssuesRepository extends CrudRepository<Issues, Integer> {
}
when i try to add data through REST Using Postman with Basic Authentication, its failing
Use httpBasic() instead of formLogin(), like http.authorizeRequests().anyRequest().authenticated().and().httpBasic();.
formLogin() is used when you want to have login page to authenticate the user (so you have), but in your example you are using http basic to do that. Spring security doesn't recognizes your http basic header and returns login page.
PS. You can use both methods http.httpBasic().and().formLogin()
I have working spring boot application in which csrf is enabled but now I want to disable it only for localhost. any request from other domain must underpass csrf security but for localhost, I want to disable it. how can I achieve that?
I know how to disable it by changing
#Configuration
#EnableWebMvcSecurity
public class SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.csrf.disable();
}
}
the above code disabled csrf but I want to disable csrf for the only localhost.
Can you please help me?
EDIT: I know how to do it by two profile. Thanks #daren for your detailed answer.
You could use Spring Profiles to achieve what you are looking to do.
https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-profiles.html
At it's simplest you could have two configurations
#Configuration
#EnableWebMvcSecurity
#Profile("!deployed") //Not(!) deployed profile
public class SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.csrf.disable();
}
}
And in deployed regions active the deployed profile.
#Configuration
#EnableWebMvcSecurity
#Profile("deployed")
public class SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.csrf.enable();
}
}
Depending on what security configuration you are doing you could do the inverse of this and active a local profile by default which would do the disabling.
You can use the CsrfConfigurer#requireCsrfProtectionMatcher method and use a RequestMatcher which checks the request local vs remote address e.g.
private RequestMatcher csrfProtectionMatcher() {
final Set<String> allowedMethods = ImmutableSet.of("GET", "HEAD", "TRACE", "OPTIONS");
return request -> !allowedMethods.contains(request.getMethod()) && !(request.getLocalAddr().equals(request.getRemoteAddr()));
}
I want to use Spring Security for JWT authentication. But it comes with default authentication. I am trying to disable it, but the old approach of doing this - disabling it through application.properties - is deprecated in 2.0.
This is what I tried:
#Configuration
public class StackWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.httpBasic().disable();
// http.authorizeRequests().anyRequest().permitAll(); // Also doesn't work.
}
}
How can I simply disable basic security?
UPDATE
It might be nice to know that I am not using web mvc but web flux.
Screenshot:
According to the new updates in Spring 2.0, if Spring Security is on the classpath, Spring Boot will add #EnableWebSecurity.So adding entries to the application.properties ain't gonna work (i.e it is no longer customizable that way). For more information visit the official website Security changes in Spring Boot 2.0
Albeit not sure about your requirement exactly, I could think of one workaround like the following:-
#Configuration
#EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter{
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception{
http.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/").permitAll();
}
}
Hope this helps.
From Spring Boot 2.1 on, if you include spring-boot-actuator, it does not suffice anymore to only exclude SecurityAutoconfiguration, you also need to exclude ManagementWebSecurityAutoConfiguration, like so:
#SpringBootApplication(exclude = { SecurityAutoConfiguration.class, ManagementWebSecurityAutoConfiguration.class })
According to the reference documentation, the Security configuration for allowing all requests with WebFlux should look like this:
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.config.web.server.ServerHttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.web.server.SecurityWebFilterChain;
#Configuration
public class SecurityConfig {
#Bean
public SecurityWebFilterChain springSecurityFilterChain(ServerHttpSecurity http) {
http.authorizeExchange().anyExchange().permitAll();
return http.build();
}
}
This worked for me:
#Configuration
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.csrf().disable().authorizeRequests().anyRequest().permitAll();
}
}
You can add/modify the following to your Application class:
#SpringBootApplication(exclude = { SecurityAutoConfiguration.class })
public class MyApplication {
}
Adding some fresh answer, I assume all use actuator, if not I'd bet one class exclusion should be sufficient, I managed to disable through properties:
spring:
autoconfigure:
exclude: ${spring.autoconfigure.sac}, ${spring.autoconfigure.mwsas}
sac: org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.security.servlet.SecurityAutoConfiguration
mwsas: org.springframework.boot.actuate.autoconfigure.security.servlet.ManagementWebSecurityAutoConfiguration
I've referenced two auto-config classes through property to keep the length intact (note that IntelliJ Ultimate will cry if you reference it like that as it has no clue what are these placeholder values and if they are actually legit classes, so inline if that annoys you).
Application however does not fail to start as claimed by:
https://www.baeldung.com/spring-boot-security-autoconfiguration
if you just disable SecurityAutoConfiguration
If it did work, you will stop seeing auto generated password and it is a little bit less confusing than the accepted answer, as dev reading the log won't get confused by generated password for basic auth while security allows all.
Why just disabling main auto config class isn't enough is because of this fella:
#Configuration
class ManagementWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.authorizeRequests()
.requestMatchers(
EndpointRequest.to(HealthEndpoint.class, InfoEndpoint.class))
.permitAll().anyRequest().authenticated().and().formLogin().and()
.httpBasic();
}
}
There was tons of work made to split actuator and security config which confused us all, now its more straightforward but artifacts like these still exist. Spring devs will correct me if I am wrong :-).
I have leveraged #ConditionalOnProperty to load the following SecurityConfig.java class if I set spring.security.enabled property to false in my application.yml to disable spring security and it works like a charm.
#ConditionalOnProperty(name = "spring.security.enabled", havingValue = "false")
#Configuration
#EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.csrf().disable()
.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/").permitAll();
}
}
If anyone is struggling with this in a WebFlux based application, or a Spring Cloud Gateway application, the below worked for me:
#EnableWebFluxSecurity
public class InsecurityConfiguration {
// #formatter:off
#Bean
public SecurityWebFilterChain springSecurityFilterChain(ServerHttpSecurity http) {
http
.authorizeExchange()
.anyExchange().permitAll();
return http.build();
}
}
To disable default security for Spring Boot Reactive Web applications, use the following excludes when you have actuator also in the classpath.
#SpringBootApplication(exclude = {ReactiveSecurityAutoConfiguration.class, ReactiveManagementWebSecurityAutoConfiguration.class })
I think what you are looking for is to override the default authentication entry point which is set to BasicAuthenticationEntryPoint.
This entrypoint adds the
"WWW-Authenticate": "Basic realm=..."
header that tells your browser to use Basic Auth.
If you're extending WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter, you can pass in true to the super constructor to disable the defaults.
You may need to provide other beans if you do this.
/**
* Creates an instance which allows specifying if the default configuration should be
* enabled. Disabling the default configuration should be considered more advanced
* usage as it requires more understanding of how the framework is implemented.
*
* #param disableDefaults true if the default configuration should be disabled, else
* false
*/
protected WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter(boolean disableDefaults) {
this.disableDefaults = disableDefaults;
}
If you want to disable it just for testing purposes -
Rather than completely disabling the auto-configuration, I create an "InsecurityConfiguration" in addition to "SecurityConfiguration", and activate it with either a Spring Profile or Property value.
Technically security is still configured, but wide open.
#Configuration
#ConditionalOnProperty(prefix = "security", value = "disabled", havingValue = "true")
public class InsecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
private final static Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(InsecurityConfiguration.class);
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
log.warn("configuring insecure HttpSecurity");
http.authorizeRequests().anyRequest().permitAll();
}
#Override
public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
log.warn("configuring insecure WebSecurity");
web.ignoring().antMatchers("/**");
}
}
Note This is for mvc, not webflux. For Webflux you should create a SecurityWebFilterChain like Bryan mentioned.
This is how I generally disable basic auth in webflux, when using JWT -
#Bean
public SecurityWebFilterChain configure(ServerHttpSecurity http) {
http
.authorizeExchange().anyExchange().authenticated().and()
.httpBasic().disable()
.formLogin().disable()
.logout().disable()
.oauth2ResourceServer()
.jwt()
.and()
.and().exceptionHandling().accessDeniedHandler(problemSupport);
return http.build();
}
Only properties - works for me (sb2 - 2022):
spring:
autoconfigure:
exclude:
- org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.security.servlet.SecurityAutoConfiguration
- org.springframework.boot.actuate.autoconfigure.security.servlet.ManagementWebSecurityAutoConfiguration
Simple solution for Spring Boot 2.6
#SpringBootApplication(exclude = {SecurityAutoConfiguration.class, ManagementWebSecurityAutoConfiguration.class, UserDetailsServiceAutoConfiguration.class})
In Spring boot 2, there is no way to disable basic authentication by application.properties file. But the only thing is use annotation
#EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = {SecurityAutoConfiguration.class})
in the main class.
It works
The problem is with org.springframework.security.web.server.authorization.ExceptionTranslationWebFilter
it has private ServerAuthenticationEntryPoint authenticationEntryPoint = new HttpBasicServerAuthenticationEntryPoint();
so to fix it during ServerHttpSecurity initialization add:
http.exceptionHandling().authenticationEntryPoint(HttpStatusServerEntryPoint(HttpStatus.FORBIDDEN))
Looks like vanilla (servlet) spring uses org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configurers.ExceptionHandlingConfigurer#createDefaultEntryPoint
private AuthenticationEntryPoint createDefaultEntryPoint(H http) {
if (this.defaultEntryPointMappings.isEmpty()) {
return new Http403ForbiddenEntryPoint();
}
if (this.defaultEntryPointMappings.size() == 1) {
return this.defaultEntryPointMappings.values().iterator().next();
}
DelegatingAuthenticationEntryPoint entryPoint = new DelegatingAuthenticationEntryPoint(
this.defaultEntryPointMappings);
entryPoint.setDefaultEntryPoint(this.defaultEntryPointMappings.values().iterator()
.next());
return entryPoint;
}
Side note: mutable fields in builder style beans (like ExceptionTranslationWebFilter) make spring code hard to debug (too magic configuration as well)
You should add #EnableWebSecurity to enable a custom security configuration.
After that simply disable the form login
#Configuration
#EnableWebSecurity
public class StackWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter extends
WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.formLogin().disable();
}
}
This worked for me
#SpringBootApplication(exclude = {UserDetailsServiceAutoConfiguration.class})
class SpringApplication{
...
}
I'm trying to set up a RESTful API with Spring Boot and I'm trying to enable basic authentication. How come I keep hitting a 403 Access Denied error? I'm sending my credentials as a header in Postman (see image attached). If I remove .anyRequest.authenticated(), it works fine. I don't want to remove that though because I would like basic authentication for every endpoint. What am I doing wrong?
Application.java
#SpringBootApplication
public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
SecurityConfiguration.java
#Configuration
#EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/h2-console/*").permitAll()
.anyRequest().authenticated();
http.csrf().disable();
http.headers().frameOptions().disable();
}
#Autowired
public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
auth
.inMemoryAuthentication()
.withUser("user").password("password").roles("USER");
}
}
Controller.java
#RestController
public class Controller {
#RequestMapping("/test")
public String index() {
return "Greetings from Spring Boot!";
}
}
After digging around in the Spring docs, it seems I understand what each of the chained method calls are for.
Anyway, the simple answer is that I needed .and().httpBasic() to enable Basic HTTP Authentication over my REST API.
.anyRequest().authenticated() simply mandates that every request is authenticated, but did not specify what method. Adding basic authentication means we can use basic auth to authenticate a user.

I'm new to Spring Security so I probably miss out on something. I have a Spring Application that starts a Jetty with a WebApplication I want to secure using Spring Security. The webapp is running and reachable, but not restricted. I've tried a lot of stuff but nothing worked so I broke it down to a minimal setup, but still no chance.
the webapp is configured by the following java configuration:
#EnableWebMvc
#Configuration
#Import(SecurityConfiguration.class)
#ComponentScan(useDefaultFilters = false, basePackages = { "myapp.web" }, includeFilters = { #ComponentScan.Filter(Controller.class) })
public class SpringMvcConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
/**
* Allow the default servlet to serve static files from the webapp root.
*/
#Override
public void configureDefaultServletHandling(DefaultServletHandlerConfigurer configurer) {
configurer.enable();
}
}
and Spring Security configured here:
#Configuration
#EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Autowired
public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
auth
.inMemoryAuthentication()
.withUser("user")
.password("password")
.roles("ADMIN")
.authorities("ADMIN");
}
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.authorizeRequests()
.anyRequest()
.hasAuthority("ADMIN");
}
}
and some controller like this:
#Controller
public class SecuredController {
#RequestMapping(value = "/secure", method = RequestMethod.GET)
#ResponseBody
public String secured() {
return "you should not see this unless you provide authentication";
}
}
Everything starts up all right, the log tells me, that the controller is mapped...
[2014-10-01 20:21:29,538, INFO ] [main] mvc.method.annotation.RequestMappingHandlerMapping:197 - Mapped "{[/secure],methods=[GET],params=[],headers=[],consumes=[],produces=[],custom=[]}" onto public java.lang.String myapp.web.SecuredController.secured()
...and that security is in place as well...
[2014-10-01 20:21:30,298, INFO ] [main] gframework.security.web.DefaultSecurityFilterChain:28 - Creating filter chain: org.springframework.security.web.util.matcher.AnyRequestMatcher#1, [org.springframework.security.web.context.request.async.WebAsyncManagerIntegrationFilter#352c308, org.springframework.security.web.context.SecurityContextPersistenceFilter#2af616d3, org.springframework.security.web.header.HeaderWriterFilter#1a2e2935, org.springframework.security.web.csrf.CsrfFilter#64f857e7, org.springframework.security.web.authentication.logout.LogoutFilter#bc57b40, org.springframework.security.web.savedrequest.RequestCacheAwareFilter#3deb2326, org.springframework.security.web.servletapi.SecurityContextHolderAwareRequestFilter#7889a1ac, org.springframework.security.web.authentication.AnonymousAuthenticationFilter#7d373bcf, org.springframework.security.web.session.SessionManagementFilter#5922ae77, org.springframework.security.web.access.ExceptionTranslationFilter#7e1a1da6, org.springframework.security.web.access.intercept.FilterSecurityInterceptor#1051817b]
... but the /secure url of my controller is unconditionally reachable. What am I doing wrong?
ps. I want to avoid xml config
In order to integrate Spring Security with Spring MVC you have to use #EnableWebMvcSecurity annotation instead of #EnableWebSecurity in SecurityConfiguration class.
I figured, I had to move the initialization of the Spring Security configuration to the root context, not the dispatcher-servlet context, and add the following line where i configure the context of my embedded Jetty:
context.addFilter(new FilterHolder(new DelegatingFilterProxy("springSecurityFilterChain")), "/*", EnumSet.allOf(DispatcherType.class));
