My application serves both API and browser. I've implemented API Token authentication with all custom providers and filter. The configuration now seems to interfere with the browser version.
I have two questions that I need advice on how to solve, as I'm not getting anywhere after digging through the documentation and other examples.
1) My StatelessAuthenticationFilter is being called despite a request
coming from the browser. I have e.g. specified the request matcher to "/api/**". Why is that?
2) The AuthenticationManager have not registered two AuthenticationProviders. This is my conclusion after debugging my StatelessAuthenticationFilter that's being called wrongly.
Here's the configuration classes that I have
#Configuration
#EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig {
#Order(1)
#Configuration
public static class A extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Autowired
TokenAuthenticationProvider tokenAuthenticationProvider;
#Autowired
ApiEntryPoint apiEntryPoint;
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
StatelessAuthenticationFilter filter = new StatelessAuthenticationFilter();
AntPathRequestMatcher requestMatcher = new AntPathRequestMatcher("/api/**");
filter.setRequiresAuthenticationRequestMatcher(requestMatcher);
filter.setAuthenticationManager(super.authenticationManager());
http.csrf().disable()
.exceptionHandling().authenticationEntryPoint(apiEntryPoint)
.and()
.sessionManagement().sessionCreationPolicy(SessionCreationPolicy.STATELESS)
.and()
.addFilterBefore(filter, UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter.class);
}
#Override
protected void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
auth.authenticationProvider(tokenAuthenticationProvider);
}
#Override
public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
web.ignoring().antMatchers("/api/user/register");
}
}
#Configuration
public static class B extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
auth.authenticationProvider(new DaoAuthenticationProvider());
}
}
}
As you can see, B class doesn't specify anything, yet when I access localhost:8080 the StatelessAuthenticationFilter is called. What is going on here?
In class A you are configuring the StatelessAuthenticationFilter to use a requestMatcher. Whatever you do with that, spring does not know or care about that.
You must also restrict your security configuration using
http.antMatcher("/api/**")
otherwise its configured for every URI and the StatelessAuthenticationFilter will be invoked for every request, exactly as you described.
You should also annotate class A and B with #Order as shown in the example at multiple-httpsecurity

So I have an application that contains a REST API which is used by a custom java application on an IOT device with no user interaction.And I also have a web app which needs a stateful session for maintaining user login.
Is it possible to use Spring Security to authenticate requests to my API and web controller differently?What form of authentication should I be using for the REST API?
One way to achieve what you are looking for is to have 2 configurations in your spring security. E.g.
Pay attention to antMatcher (matcher not matchers). The antMatcher will control on what set of url your entire config applies i.e. FormLoginWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter in below example will apply only to uri matching /api/test/**. Of course, you can define the antMatcher only in one of the configs say config1 and the other config in that case will be a catch all (i.e catch everything that does not match config1)
#EnableWebSecurity
#Configuration
public class SecurityConfig {
#Configuration
#Order(1)
public static class ApiWebSecurityConfigurationAdapter extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
public void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth)
throws Exception {
auth.inMemoryAuthentication().withUser("user").password("user").roles("USER");
auth.inMemoryAuthentication().withUser("admin").password("admin").roles("ADMIN");
}
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.sessionManagement()
.sessionCreationPolicy(SessionCreationPolicy.STATELESS)
http
.antMatcher("/api/v1/**")
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/api/v1/**").authenticated()
.and()
.httpBasic();
}
}
#Configuration
#Order(2)
public static class FormLoginWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
public void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth)
throws Exception {
auth.inMemoryAuthentication().withUser("user1").password("user").roles("USER");
auth.inMemoryAuthentication().withUser("admin1").password("admin").roles("ADMIN");
}
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.sessionManagement()
.sessionCreationPolicy(SessionCreationPolicy.IF_REQUIRED); // CONFIGURE TYPE OF SESSION POLICY
http
.antMatcher("/api/test/**")
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/api/test/**").authenticated()
.and()
.formLogin();
}
}
}
I am implementing spring security in a spring boot application to perform JWT validation where I have a filter and an AuthenticationManager and an AuthenticationProvider. What I want to do is that I want to disable security for certain resource paths (make them unsecure basically).
What I have tried in my securityConfig class (that extends from WebSecuirtyConfigurerAdapater) is below:
protected void configure(HttpSecurity httpSecurity) throws Exception {
httpSecurity.addFilterBefore(buildJwtTokenAuthenticationProcessingFilter(),
UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter.class);
httpSecurity.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/**").permitAll();
httpSecurity.csrf().disable();
httpSecurity.sessionManagement().sessionCreationPolicy(SessionCreationPolicy.STATELESS);
}
What I am trying to do right now is that I want to make all my resource paths to be un-secure,
but the above code doesn't work and my authenticate method in my CustomAuthenticationProvider (that extends from AuthenticationProvider) get executed every time
Authentication piece gets executed irrespective of using permitAll on every request. I have tried anyRequest too in place of antMatchers:
httpSecurity.authorizeRequests().anyRequest().permitAll();
Any help would be appreciated.
Override the following method in your class which extends WebSecuirtyConfigurerAdapater:
#Override
public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
web.ignoring().antMatchers("/unsecurePage");
}
try updating your code in order to allow requests for specific paths as below
protected void configure(HttpSecurity httpSecurity) throws Exception {
httpSecurity.addFilterBefore(buildJwtTokenAuthenticationProcessingFilter(),
UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter.class);
httpSecurity.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/").permitAll().and()
.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/exemptedPaths/").permitAll();
httpSecurity.csrf().disable();
httpSecurity.sessionManagement().sessionCreationPolicy(SessionCreationPolicy.STATELESS);
}
I have two configuration. The first would like to achieve that all requests from(/api/**) must come only from a determined ip.
like Following...
.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/api/**").hasIpAddress("dynamic List of IPs");
It should be checked whether the IP is stored in the database, otherwise the access is to be denied.
And the secound config takes care of the rest.
#EnableWebSecurity
public class AppSecurityConfig {
#Autowired
protected void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
auth.userDetailsService(new CustomUserDetailsService()).passwordEncoder(new Md5PasswordEncoder());
}
#Configuration
#Order(1)
public static class ApiWebSecurityConfigurationAdapter extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.csrf().disable()
.headers().disable()
.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/api/**").hasIpAddress("dynamic List of IPs");
}
}
#Configuration
public static class FormLoginWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.sessionManagement().maximumSessions(1)
.expiredUrl("/error/expired.xhtml").and()
.invalidSessionUrl("/Anmeldung.xhtml?check=invalid");
http
.csrf().disable()
.headers().disable()
.formLogin().loginPage("/Anmeldung/").loginProcessingUrl("/j_spring_security_check").successHandler(new CustomAuthenticationSuccessHandler())
.failureUrl("/Anmeldung.xhtml?check=error").usernameParameter("j_username").passwordParameter("j_password")
.and()
.exceptionHandling().accessDeniedPage("/error/403.xhtml")
.and()
.logout().logoutUrl("/logout").logoutSuccessUrl("/Anmeldung.xhtml?check=logout").invalidateHttpSession(false).deleteCookies("JSESSIONID").permitAll();
ExpressionUrlAuthorizationConfigurer<HttpSecurity>.ExpressionInterceptUrlRegistry interceptUrlRegistry = http.authorizeRequests();
interceptUrlRegistry.antMatchers("/Administrator/*").hasAnyAuthority("ROLE_ADMIN");
interceptUrlRegistry.antMatchers("/*").hasAnyAuthority("ROLE_USER");
interceptUrlRegistry.antMatchers("/Anmeldung/index.xhtml").anonymous();
interceptUrlRegistry.antMatchers("/template/*").denyAll();
interceptUrlRegistry.antMatchers("/resources/**").permitAll();
}
}
}
Thanks for your help.
You can dynamically configure httpsecurity object inside for loop like the code referenced below.
for (Entry<String, String> entry : hasmapObject) {
String url = entry.getKey().trim();
String ips= entry.getValue().trim();
http.authorizeRequests().and().authorizeRequests().antMatchers(url).hasIpAddress(ips);
}
This worked for me. The hashmap object had the dynamic list of url's and their corresponding ips to give access.
"http.authorizeRequests().and()" this and() is needed to indent like we use in xml configuration to configure http child elements in XML.
Please let me know if this helps.
I am creating a Spring Security configuration to be used as a library by any developer who wants to create a Stormpath Spring application secured by Spring Security.
For that I have sub-classed WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter and defined the Stormpath Access Controls in configure(HttpSecurity) as well as the Stormpath AuthenticationProvider by means of configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder). All this can be seen in this abstract class and its concrete sub-class:
#Order(99)
public abstract class AbstractStormpathWebSecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
//Removed properties and beans for the sake of keeping focus on the important stuff
/**
* The pre-defined Stormpath access control settings are defined here.
*
* #param http the {#link HttpSecurity} to be modified
* #throws Exception if an error occurs
*/
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http, AuthenticationSuccessHandler successHandler, LogoutHandler logoutHandler)
throws Exception {
if (loginEnabled) {
http
.formLogin()
.loginPage(loginUri)
.defaultSuccessUrl(loginNextUri)
.successHandler(successHandler)
.usernameParameter("login")
.passwordParameter("password");
}
if (logoutEnabled) {
http
.logout()
.invalidateHttpSession(true)
.logoutUrl(logoutUri)
.logoutSuccessUrl(logoutNextUri)
.addLogoutHandler(logoutHandler);
}
if (!csrfProtectionEnabled) {
http.csrf().disable();
} else {
//Let's configure HttpSessionCsrfTokenRepository to play nicely with our Controllers' forms
http.csrf().csrfTokenRepository(stormpathCsrfTokenRepository());
}
}
/**
* Method to specify the {#link AuthenticationProvider} that Spring Security will use when processing authentications.
*
* #param auth the {#link AuthenticationManagerBuilder} to use
* #param authenticationProvider the {#link AuthenticationProvider} to whom Spring Security will delegate authentication attempts
* #throws Exception if an error occurs
*/
protected void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth, AuthenticationProvider authenticationProvider) throws Exception {
auth.authenticationProvider(authenticationProvider);
}
}
#Configuration
public class StormpathWebSecurityConfiguration extends AbstractStormpathWebSecurityConfiguration {
//Removed beans for the sake of keeping focus on the important stuff
#Override
protected final void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
configure(http, stormpathAuthenticationSuccessHandler(), stormpathLogoutHandler());
}
#Override
protected final void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
configure(auth, super.stormpathAuthenticationProvider);
}
}
In short, we are basically defining our login and logout mechanisms and integrating our CSRF code to play nicely with Spring Security's one.
Up to this point everything works OK.
But this is just the "library" and we want users to build their own applications on top of it.
So, we have created a Sample application to demonstrate how a user will use our library.
Basically users will want to create their own WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter. Like this:
#EnableStormpathWebSecurity
#Configuration
#ComponentScan
#PropertySource("classpath:application.properties")
#Order(1)
public class SpringSecurityWebAppConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
/**
* {#inheritDoc}
*/
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/restricted").fullyAuthenticated();
}
}
In case this is actually needed, the WebApplicationInitializer looks like this:
public class WebAppInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer {
#Override
public void onStartup(ServletContext sc) throws ServletException {
AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext context = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
context.register(SpringSecurityWebAppConfig.class);
context.register(StormpathMethodSecurityConfiguration.class);
sc.addListener(new ContextLoaderListener(context));
ServletRegistration.Dynamic dispatcher = sc.addServlet("dispatcher", new DispatcherServlet(context));
dispatcher.setLoadOnStartup(1);
dispatcher.addMapping("/");
//Stormpath Filter
FilterRegistration.Dynamic filter = sc.addFilter("stormpathFilter", new DelegatingFilterProxy());
EnumSet<DispatcherType> types =
EnumSet.of(DispatcherType.ERROR, DispatcherType.FORWARD, DispatcherType.INCLUDE, DispatcherType.REQUEST);
filter.addMappingForUrlPatterns(types, false, "/*");
//Spring Security Filter
FilterRegistration.Dynamic securityFilter = sc.addFilter(AbstractSecurityWebApplicationInitializer.DEFAULT_FILTER_NAME, DelegatingFilterProxy.class);
securityFilter.addMappingForUrlPatterns(EnumSet.allOf(DispatcherType.class), false, "/*");
}
}
All this code boots up correctly. If I go to localhost:8080 I see the welcome screen. If I go to localhost:8080/login I see the login screen. But, if I go to localhost:8080/restricted I should be redirected to the login page since we have this line: http.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/restricted").fullyAuthenticated();. However I am seeing the Access Denied page instead.
Then, if I add the login url in the App's access control, like this:
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.formLogin().loginPage("/login")
.and()
.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/restricted").fullyAuthenticated();
}
It now redirects me to the login page but as soon as I submit the credentials I get an CSRF problem meaning that all our configuration is not actually part of this filter chain.
When I debug it all it seems that each WebApplicationInitializer is having its own instance with its own Filter Chain. I would expect them to be concatenated somehow but it seems that it is not actually happening...
Anyone has ever tried something like this?
BTW: As a workaround users can do public class SpringSecurityWebAppConfig extends StormpathWebSecurityConfiguration instead of SpringSecurityWebAppConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter. This way it works but I want users to have pure Spring Security code and extending from our StormpathWebSecurityConfiguration diverges from that goal.
All the code can be seen here. The Stormpath Spring Security library for Spring is under extensions/spring/stormpath-spring-security-webmvc. The Sample App using the library is under examples/spring-security-webmvc.
It is very simple to run... You just need to register to Stormpath as explained here. Then you can checkout the spring_security_extension_redirect_to_login_not_working branch and start the sample app like this:
$ git clone git#github.com:mrioan/stormpath-sdk-java.git
$ git checkout spring_security_extension_redirect_to_login_not_working
$ mvn install -DskipTests=true
$ cd examples/spring-security-webmvc
$ mvn jetty:run
Then you can go to localhost:8080/restricted to see that you are not being redirected to the login page.
Any help is very much appreciated!
In my experience there are issues with having multiple WebSecurityConfigurers messing with the security configuration on startup.
The best way to solve this is to make your library configuration into SecurityConfigurerAdapters that can be applied where appropriate.
public class StormpathHttpSecurityConfigurer
extends AbstractStormpathWebSecurityConfiguration
implements SecurityConfigurer<DefaultSecurityFilterChain, HttpSecurity> {
//Removed beans for the sake of keeping focus on the important stuff
#Override
protected final void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
configure(http, stormpathAuthenticationSuccessHandler(), stormpathLogoutHandler());
}
}
public class StormpathAuthenticationManagerConfigurer
extends AbstractStormpathWebSecurityConfiguration
implements SecurityConfigurer<AuthenticationManager, AuthenticationManagerBuilder> {
//Removed beans for the sake of keeping focus on the important stuff
#Override
protected final void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
configure(auth, super.stormpathAuthenticationProvider);
}
}
You then have your users apply these in their own configuration:
#EnableStormpathWebSecurity
#Configuration
#ComponentScan
#PropertySource("classpath:application.properties")
#Order(1)
public class SpringSecurityWebAppConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/restricted").fullyAuthenticated()
.and()
.apply(new StormPathHttpSecurityConfigurer(...))
;
}
#Override
protected void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
auth.apply(new StormPathAuthenticationManagerConfigurer(...));
}
}
It's definitely the problem regarding either order of your Antmatchers or hasn't specified ROLES of users that you permit to access the URL.
What do you have anything above "/restricted"?
Is something completely blocking anything below that URL? You should specify more specific URLS first then, generalised URLs.
Try configuring above URL properly (or tell me what it is so I can help you out), perhaps apply "fullyAuthenticated" also "permitAll" ROLEs on the parent URL of "/restricted".
I had an interesting situation not long ago which caused an infinite loop (and eventually a stack overflow) in Spring Security's AuthenticationManager. For months, everything worked as expected, but then I decided to transfer my XML configuration to code-only configuration. Here was my basic setup in Java configuration:
#Configuration
#EnableWebMvcSecurity
#ComponentScan(basePackages = { "com.my.company" })
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
// Disable default configuration
public SecurityConfig() {
super(true);
}
#Autowired
AuthenticationProviderImpl authenticationProvider;
#Autowired
MyAuthenticationEntryPoint customAuthenticationEntryPoint;
#Autowired
AuthenticationTokenProcessingFilter authenticationTokenProcessingFilter;
#Bean(name = "authenticationManager")
#Override
public AuthenticationManager authenticationManagerBean() throws Exception {
return super.authenticationManagerBean();
}
#Override
public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
// Ignore requests of resources in security
web.ignoring().antMatchers("/resources/**")
// Ignore requests to authentication
.and().ignoring().antMatchers("/auth/**");
}
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
// Define main authentication filter
http.addFilterBefore(authenticationTokenProcessingFilter,
UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter.class)
// Request path authorization
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/api/**")
.access("isAuthenticated()")
// Authentication provider
.and()
.authenticationProvider(authenticationProvider)
// Security failure exception handling
.exceptionHandling()
.authenticationEntryPoint(customAuthenticationEntryPoint)
// Session Management
.and().sessionManagement()
.sessionCreationPolicy(SessionCreationPolicy.STATELESS)
// Default security HTTP headers
.and().headers().xssProtection().frameOptions()
.cacheControl().contentTypeOptions();
}
}
However, I soon found out that this configuration causes issues with my AuthenticationProviderImpl (which implements the Spring Security AuthenticationProvider interface). When the implementation's overridden authenticate method throws a BadCredentialsException, the exact same method in that class is called again perpetually until the stack overflows. The good news is that I fixed my configuration by simply overriding configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder builder) in the SecurityConfig and declaring my implementation of the AuthenticationProvider there instead of in configure(HttpSecurity http). Here is the fixed version:
#Configuration
#EnableWebMvcSecurity
#ComponentScan(basePackages = { "com.my.company" })
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
// Disable default configuration
public SecurityConfig() {
super(true);
}
#Autowired
AuthenticationProviderImpl authenticationProvider;
#Autowired
MyAuthenticationEntryPoint customAuthenticationEntryPoint;
#Autowired
AuthenticationTokenProcessingFilter authenticationTokenProcessingFilter;
#Bean(name = "authenticationManager")
#Override
public AuthenticationManager authenticationManagerBean() throws Exception {
return super.authenticationManagerBean();
}
#Override
public void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder builder) {
// Configure the authentication manager WITH the authentication
// provider. Not overriding this method causes very bad things to
// happen.
builder.authenticationProvider(authenticationProvider);
}
#Override
public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
// Ignore requests of resources in security
web.ignoring().antMatchers("/resources/**")
// Ignore requests to authentication
.and().ignoring().antMatchers("/auth/**");
}
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
// Define main authentication filter
http.addFilterBefore(authenticationTokenProcessingFilter,
UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter.class)
// Request path authorization
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/api/**")
.access("isAuthenticated()")
.and()
// Security failure exception handling
.exceptionHandling()
.authenticationEntryPoint(customAuthenticationEntryPoint)
// Session Management
.and().sessionManagement()
.sessionCreationPolicy(SessionCreationPolicy.STATELESS)
// Default security HTTP headers
.and().headers().xssProtection().frameOptions()
.cacheControl().contentTypeOptions();
}
}
Though I believe my problem is solved with the fixed configuration, I still have no idea why the application was infinitely calling authenticate() when an exception was thrown by my implementation of AuthenticationProvider? I tried stepping through and examining the Spring Security classes, but I was not finding a logical answer. Thanks ahead for your expertise!
A few weeks ago I reproduced this behavior, too, see this thread on stackoverflow.
Dealing with the question I figured out that loops occur when the AuthenticationManager internally iterates through it's list of associated AuthenticationProviders, then finds a custom provider and tries to do the authentication using the provider that has been found. If the provider delegates the authentication back to the AuthenticationManager by calling authenticate(), you are in the loop. I guess your AuthenticationProviderImpl does something like that?
The order of your in the providers inside the java.util.List of the AuthenticationManager matters. The order is given by your configuration, e.g. by doing what you tried at first:
// Authentication provider
.and()
.authenticationProvider(authenticationProvider)
By changing your configuration, you influenced the internally managed list of providers attached to your manager, which in the end will solve your code.
