Spring Security: default-target-url does not work when session expires - spring

When I log in for the first time everything works fine, Spring redirect me to the url specified in default-target-url.
The problem is when the session expires. If I try to load an URL manually, then Spring redirect me to the login page and after being logged in, Spring redirect me again to the previous URL instead of default-target-url.
I want Spring redirect me to default-target-url always. Here is my configuration:
<http auto-config="true" use-expressions="true" disable-url-rewriting="true">
<access-denied-handler error-page="/errorPage" />
<intercept-url pattern="/admin/**" access="hasRole('Admin')" />
<intercept-url pattern="/empresas/**" access="hasAnyRole('User, Admin')" />
<intercept-url pattern="/j_spring_security_logout#chart" access="hasAnyRole('User, Admin')" />
<form-login
login-page="/login"
default-target-url="/loggedin"
authentication-failure-url="/loginError"
username-parameter="j_username"
password-parameter="j_password"
/>
<logout logout-success-url="/login?logout" invalidate-session="true"
delete-cookies="JSESSIONID"/>
<!-- enable csrf protection -->
</http>

Use always-use-default-target="true" attribute of form-login. Refer this question for more help.
<form-login
login-page="/login"
default-target-url="/loggedin"
always-use-default-target="true"
authentication-failure-url="/loginError"
username-parameter="j_username"
password-parameter="j_password"
/>
I hope this will help.

Spring MVC Security permitAll to / but denyAll to /** not working

I have a Spring4 MVC application that is deployed on Wildfly10 and is configured using xml.
I have the following controller defined:
<mvc:view-controller path="/" view-name="/index" />
<mvc:view-controller path="/index" view-name="/index" />
And in Spring security define access:
<http auto-config="true" use-expressions="true">
<intercept-url pattern="/" access="permitAll" />
<intercept-url pattern="/index" access="permitAll" />
...
<intercept-url pattern="/**" access="denyAll" />
<form-login login-page="/login" default-target-url="/dashboard"
always-use-default-target="true" authentication-failure-url="/loginfailed"
authentication-failure-handler-ref="authenticationFailureHandler" />
<logout logout-success-url="/index" />
<access-denied-handler ref="customAccessDeniedHandler"/>
</http>
If I remove the denyAll to /** intercept-url the application works as intended however adding it causes security to redirect root calls to the login page and not the index page!
Is there a way I can have permitAll access to the root (Redirects to /index) of my application and still denyAll to /** thus covering anything else that is not defined?
By Changing the pattern to <intercept-url pattern="/.+" access="denyAll" /> as commented by Vasan got it working. below is an example of the change
<http auto-config="true" use-expressions="true">
<intercept-url pattern="/" access="permitAll" />
<intercept-url pattern="/index" access="permitAll" />
...
<intercept-url pattern="/.+" access="denyAll" />
<form-login login-page="/login" default-target-url="/dashboard"
always-use-default-target="true" authentication-failure-url="/loginfailed"
authentication-failure-handler-ref="authenticationFailureHandler" />
<logout logout-success-url="/index" />
<access-denied-handler ref="customAccessDeniedHandler"/>

making a method available for anonymous user inside login authenticated controller

I have controller with url pattern /checkout/single. I have made this controller login authenticated. Inside this controller there is a method which needs to be made available for anonymous users as well. Can someone provide me with appropriate spring-security-config.xml configurations assuming the method request mapping is /test.
Here is complete configuration -
<security:http disable-url-rewriting="true" pattern="/checkout/**" use-expressions="true">
<security:session-management session-authentication-strategy-ref="fixation" />
<security:intercept-url pattern="/checkout/single/test" access="permitAll" requires-channel="any"/>
<!-- SSL / AUTHENTICATED pages -->
<security:intercept-url pattern="/checkout/j_spring_security_check" requires-channel="https" />
<security:intercept-url pattern="/checkout*" access="hasRole('ROLE_CUSTOMERGROUP')" requires-channel="https" />
<security:intercept-url pattern="/checkout/**" access="hasRole('ROLE_CUSTOMERGROUP')" requires-channel="https" />
<security:form-login login-processing-url="/checkout/j_spring_security_check" login-page="/login/checkout" authentication-failure-handler-ref="loginCheckoutAuthenticationFailureHandler" authentication-success-handler-ref="loginCheckoutGuidAuthenticationSuccessHandler" />
<security:logout logout-url="/logout" success-handler-ref="logoutSuccessHandler" delete-cookies="JSESSIONID" />
<security:port-mappings>
<security:port-mapping http="#{configurationService.configuration.getProperty('tomcat.http.port')}" https="#{configurationService.configuration.getProperty('tomcat.ssl.port')}" />
<security:port-mapping http="80" https="443" />
</security:port-mappings>
<security:request-cache ref="httpSessionRequestCache" />
</security:http>
In your xml file, you need to write the intercept url for the anonymous user in the first line. Spring security will check first this line. Then this method will be available for anonymous, but the other methods will require login even if they are in the same controller.
<http auto-config="true" use-expressions="true">
<intercept-url pattern="/checkout/single/anotherMethod" access="hasRole('ROLE_ANONYMOUS')"/>
<intercept-url pattern="/checkout/single" access="hasRole('ROLE_USER')" />

spring session redirect after timeout

I have configured spring security for login form. Everything works fine except session timeout.
When session timeouts I want to redirect to login page. Instead I am redirected to homepage. Below is part of my security xml .Can anyone suggest anything via xml configuration
<http auto-config="true" use-expressions="true">
<!-- This settings is for IE. Default this setting is on migrateSession.
When IE tries to migrate the session, the auth cookie does not migrate, resulting
in a nice login screen again, after you've logged in. This setting ensures
that the session will not be invalidated, and thus IE will still work as
expected. -->
<session-management session-fixation-protection="none" />
<intercept-url pattern="/login.jsp" access="permitAll" />
<intercept-url pattern="/css/*" access="permitAll" />
<intercept-url pattern="/img/**" access="permitAll" />
<intercept-url pattern="/js/**" access="permitAll" />
<intercept-url pattern="/lib/**" access="permitAll" />
<intercept-url pattern="/fonts/**" access="permitAll" />
<intercept-url pattern="/**" access="isAuthenticated()" />
<form-login login-page="/login.jsp" login-processing-url="/j_spring_security_check"
default-target-url="/index.html" always-use-default-target="true"
authentication-failure-url="/login?error=true" username-parameter="username"

<logout logout-success-url="/login.jsp" logout-url="/j_spring_security_logout" invalidate-session="true" />
<session-management>
<concurrency-control max-sessions="1" />
</session-management>
<session-management invalid-session-url="/login.jsp" />
<!-- disable csrf protection -->
<csrf disabled="true" />
</http>
I have added timeout in web.xml as
<session-config>
<session-timeout>1</session-timeout>
</session-config>

Spring security with multiple login pages

I am using Spring security to secure login to the application admin section with a username and password. But now my client need to have another login screen for the application clients section, where they will have their own usernames / passwords to login to the clients section. So far I've already implemented the admin section login successfully with the following spring-security.xml settings:
<security:http auto-config="true" use-expressions="true">
<security:form-login login-page="/login"
default-target-url="/admin/dashboard" always-use-default-target="true"
authentication-failure-url="/login/admin?error_msg=wrong username or password" />
<security:intercept-url pattern="/admin/*" access="hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')" />
<security:logout logout-success-url="/login"/>
</security:http>
<security:authentication-manager>
<security:authentication-provider
user-service-ref="adminServiceImpl">
</security:authentication-provider>
</security:authentication-manager>
I've searched the web a lot trying to find how I can add the client section login screen, intercept-url(s), security authentication provider but couldn't find any info, so can someone please help me with any link to any tutorial / example, guide on how to do so?
Thanks
According to the Spring Security docs:
From Spring Security 3.1 it is now possible to use multiple http
elements to define separate security filter chain configurations for
different request patterns. If the pattern attribute is omitted from
an http element, it matches all requests.
Each element creates a filter chain within the internal FilterChainProxy and the URL pattern that should be mapped to it. The elements will be added in the order they are declared, so the most specific patterns must again be declared first.
So, essentially you need two <http> elements each with a different pattern attribute.
There's a detailed tutorial here: https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2012/07/spring-security-two-security-realms-in-one-application/
I would use only one security:http, but register two UsernamePasswordLoginFilters.
This solution would be appropriate if the two Login-Pages belog to the same security-realm. (So if it does not matter on which Login-Page the user logs in). Of course you can still use roles to restrict the access for different parts of your application for different types of users.
This solution should be quite easy, because you will not need to handle two security:http sections.
The major drawback of this is: that you will have to decide on which of the two login pages a NOT logged in user gets redirected if he try to access an page that requires a login.
Example project of Spring MVC App with multiple login forms.
Three types of pages Normal/Member/Admin.
If you try to access member page you are brought to Member Login form.
If you try to access admin page you go to the Admin Login form.

All sites redirected to login page

Dear fellow Sping'lers,
I stumbled upon a problem with the login of intercept-url's in spring.
I just want to REDIRECT ALL PAGES to my login page IF NOT logged in.
This is the security context I use. However this codes is not allowing me to access any page:
<security:http auto-config="true">
<security:form-login login-page="/login" default-target-url="/welcome"
authentication-failure-url="/loginfailed" />
<security:logout logout-success-url="/logout" />
<security:intercept-url pattern="/login" access="permitAll" />
<security:intercept-url pattern="/**" access="hasRole(ROLE_USER)" />
</security:http>
Thank's for your help.

Changed my configuration according to jonnieM's post:
it's now
<security:http auto-config="true">
<security:intercept-url pattern="/login" access="IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY" />
<security:intercept-url pattern="/**" access="ROLE_USER" />
<security:form-login login-page="/login" default-target-url="/welcome"
authentication-failure-url="/loginfailed" />
<security:logout logout-success-url="/logout" />
</security:http>
So I think "IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY" did the trick :)
Cheers Lomu
You should apply the <http use-expressions="true"> setting, otherwise the values in <intercept-url>'s access attribute won't be interpreted as Spring EL expressinos.
