How to enable HTTPS only on Spring - spring

I found this:
<security:http auto-config="true">
<security:form-login .../>
<security:logout .../>
<security:intercept-url pattern="/reports" access="ROLE_ADMIN" requires-channel="https"/>
<security:intercept-url pattern="/login" access="IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY" requires-channel="https"/>
<security:intercept-url pattern="/**" access="ROLE_USER" requires-channel="https"/>
</security:http>
From my understanding we have to place this in web.xml, but we aren't using web.xml, we are using the java configuration. How can I achieve this? Is there anything I can perhaps add in application.properties?

What you are showing is a spring security file. Spring security can be configured either using an XML file (like the one you're showing) or through Java configuration (see here: http://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/reference/html/jc.html).
However your question is: can I enable HTTPS only.
You can also do that through other ways.
In Tomcat for example you can do that by configuring server.xml (http://www.itworld.com/article/2769041/development/how-to-configure-tomcat-to-always-require-https.html and https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/ssl-howto.html).
There are similar ways for other JavaEE servers.
You can also use a SecurityConstraint in your web.xml (or Java based Web config) so that it defines CONFIDENTIAL or INTEGRAL like in (XML fragment but you can do it via Java based config):
<user-data-constraint>
<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>

Spring Security Basic Authentication in Weblogic by using Adapter

I have an application which needs 2 security http tags to be deployed in weblogic 10.3.6 server, Spring Framework 3.1.2 & spring-security-3.1.2 version:
1, Form-based-Login: for direct logging in by users using login page.
2. Basic Authentication: Rest WebService calls.
I have added FORM_BASED_LOGIN successfully.-THIS works fine
Appreciate any direction for BASIC Auth for REST WebServices.
For Basic Authentication : Weblogic pops-up an additional pop-up where I have to enter the credentials of weblogic console.
To fix this I have found 2 approaches:
1. Updating the server config.xml file with the below tag:
<enforce-valid-basic-auth-credentials>false</enforce-valid-basic-auth-credentials>
Reference: Spring Security HTTP Basic Authentication
Adding an adapter and applicationContext-acegi-security.xml
and WeblogicAuthenticationFilter
I like to do the 2nd approach as it does not involve any changes to server configuration.
It would be great if any one could point me in the right direction or an example to achieve this.
Reference: http://docs.tpu.ru/docs/oracle/en/fmw/11.1.1.6.0/web.1111/e14453/security.htm
Update : Adding my current spring-security configuration:
<http create-session="stateless" entry-point-ref="basicAuthEntryPoint" pattern="/api/**" use-expressions="true">
<intercept-url pattern="/api/listbyorderid" access="hasAnyRole('ROLE_USER','ROLE_ADMIN')" />
<intercept-url pattern="/api/listbycustomerid" access="hasAnyRole('ROLE_USER','ROLE_ADMIN')" />
<custom-filter ref="basicAuthenticationFilter" after="BASIC_AUTH_FILTER" />
</http>
<http auto-config="false" use-expressions="true" access-denied-page="/security/denied" entry-point-ref="authenticationEntryPoint">
<intercept-url pattern="/security/login" access="permitAll" />
<intercept-url pattern="/layouts/*" access="permitAll"/>
<intercept-url pattern="/tiles/*" access="permitAll"/>
<intercept-url pattern="/jquery/*" access="permitAll"/>
<intercept-url pattern="/css/*" access="permitAll"/>
<intercept-url pattern="/admin/css/*" access="permitAll"/>
<intercept-url pattern="/admin/images/*" access="permitAll"/>
<intercept-url pattern="/admin/ico/*" access="permitAll"/>
<intercept-url pattern="/admin/jquery/*" access="permitAll"/>
<logout invalidate-session="true" logout-url="/j_spring_security_logout" success-handler-ref="logoutSuccessHandler" delete-cookies="JSESSIONID"/>
<!-- Custom filter to deny unwanted users even though registered -->
<custom-filter ref="blacklistFilter" before="FILTER_SECURITY_INTERCEPTOR" />
<!-- Custom filter for username, password and domain. The real customization is done in the customAuthenticationManager -->
<custom-filter ref="authenticationFilter" position="FORM_LOGIN_FILTER" />
</http>
Thanks in Advance.
Spring Security supports this out of the box. You can take a look at helloworld-jc for a Java Based Configuration or helloworld-xml for an xml based configuration. Given you are on servlet 2.5 with weblogic 10.3.6 you will want to use the XML sample.

Force SSL based on url pattern in Spring security 3.2?

I am trying to configure my SS3.2 to do something quite simple: reject any HTTP request that's not directed at my login service; and allow access to the login service without authorization.
I have the following in my security.xml:
<http pattern="/login/**" security="none" />
<!--
<intercept-url pattern="/login/**" access="permitAll" requires-channel="https"/>
-->
<http auto-config="true" use-expressions="true">
<custom-filter ref="myCustomFilter" before="BASIC_AUTH_FILTER" />
</http>
Now since the login service will transport authentication information, it obviously needs to be secured by SSL/TLS. But I can't figure out how to force it to use SSL/TLS, while still letting it skip the custom filter.
Any suggestions?

AngularJS and Spring Security. How to handle AngularJS Urls with Spring Security

Let me explain my problem.
I have implemented a site in AngularJS that is accessed like this:
http://localhost:8080/example/resources/#/
Here we can call different pages, for example a Login page:
http://localhost:8080/example/resources/#/login
admin page:
http://localhost:8080/example/resources/#/admin
user page:
http://localhost:8080/example/resources/#/user
Now, I have implemented spring security in the example in order to catch every call and check if it has ROLE_USER privileges. So far so good, I have done it like this configuration in Spring security context file:
<security:http create-session="stateless" entry-point-ref="restAuthenticationEntryPoint"
authentication-manager-ref="authenticationManager">
<security:custom-filter ref="customRestFilter" position="BASIC_AUTH_FILTER" />
<security:intercept-url pattern="/**" access="ROLE_USER" />
</security:http>
This configuration checks for every url called, if the user has the proper ROLES, and it works fine, throws 401 Unauthorized page.
The problem I`m having is that when I put the login page to be accessed by everybody I'll do it this way:
<security:http create-session="stateless" entry-point-ref="restAuthenticationEntryPoint"
authentication-manager-ref="authenticationManager">
<security:custom-filter ref="customRestFilter" position="BASIC_AUTH_FILTER" />
<security:intercept-url pattern="/login**" access="ROLE_ANONYMOUS" />
<security:intercept-url pattern="/**" access="ROLE_USER" />
</security:http>
But I dont know why spring security is not catching this URL. Maybe Angular manages the URL differently.
Finally i have tried deleting the <security:intercept-url pattern="/**" access="ROLE_USER" /> and giving /login** access to ROLE_USER only, but this page was not found. Does anybody know what could be happening here?
Thanks in advance!!!
I wrote a little sample application that illustrates how to integrate AngularJS with Spring Security by exposing the session id as an HTTP header (x-auth-token). The sample also provides some (simple) authorization (returning the roles from the server) so that the client AngularJS application can react to that. This is of course primarily for user-experience (UX) purposes. Always make sure your REST endpoints have property security.
My blog post on this is here.

POST to login-processing-url yields HTTP/404

Env:
Spring 3.1.3
Spring security: 3.1.3
Spring ldap: 1.3.1
JDK1.6
Problem:
I get a 404 on my login-processing-url.
Details:
I have three http intercept blocks: a public one, the second one used to intercept and
secure URLs for admins (uses authentication manager 1) and the third one for regular users
(uses authentication manager 2).
When the login form in http intercept block 1 post the credentials to the login-processing-url of the form login, it yields 404. I do mot get this - since the form login
announces the login-processing-url, shouldn't that filter chain recognize that URL?
Also, shluld I explicitly do "permitAll" on the login-processing-url of a form or is that
automagically done under the covers?
Lastly, is it problematic to have distinct http interceptor blocks to have distinct
login-processing-urls? (I cannot see why - but I ask anyways).
Configs:
Spring security configuration:
//...
<debug />
<global-method-security secured-annotations="enabled" />
<http pattern="/public/**" security="none"/>
<http use-expressions="true" pattern="/protected/x/support/**" authentication-manager-ref="lAdminAuthManager">
<intercept-url pattern="/protected/x/support/**" access="hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')"/>
<form-login login-page="/public/login.jsp"
login-processing-url="/protected/x/support/j_spring_security_check"
username-parameter="username"
password-parameter="password"
authentication-failure-url="/login/form?error"
default-target-url="/protected/x/support/index.html"/>
</http>
<http use-expressions="true" entry-point-ref="lUserLoginEntryPoint">
<intercept-url pattern="/protected/x/foo1/**" access="permitAll"/>
<intercept-url pattern="/protected/x/foo2/**" access="permitAll"/>
<intercept-url pattern="/j_spring_security_check" access="permitAll"/>
<intercept-url pattern="/**" access="hasRole('ROLE_USER')"/>
<custom-filter ref="lUserLoginFilter" position="FORM_LOGIN_FILTER"/>
<custom-filter ref="lPreauthAuthenticationFilter" position="PRE_AUTH_FILTER" />
</http>
//...
Any hints greatly appreciated!
Thanx,
Uma
Any way check the below links . It may help you

Even a small url conflict in config files will cause 404 error.

HTTPSessions and Spring

I'm developing a web application using spring.
Here's the problem, say I have these three urls,
www.sample.com/login.do
www.sample.com/homePage.do
www.sample.com/about.jsp
What I want to do is about.jsp page should be able to access even if user is logged in or not. And if user is not logged in and try to access homePage.do he should be redirected to login.do page and vice versa.
I think for this to work I need HTTPSessions, but I don't know how to manage HTTPSessions in Spring.
Can I accomplish this using some filters? If so can you please guide me through it?
I'm hoping to use Spring MVC and/or Spring Annotations.
Use Spring Security!
Your spring config file will be look a bit like
<security:http auto-config="true" use-expressions="true">
<security:intercept-url pattern="login.do" access="permitAll"/>
<security:intercept-url pattern="about.jsp" access="permitAll"/>
<security:intercept-url pattern="homePage.do" access="isAuthenticated"/>
<security:form-login
login-page="login.jsp"
authentication-failure-url="login?error=true"
default-target-url="homePage.do"/>
</security:http>
<security:authentication-manager>
...
</security:authentication-manager>
