Spring Security for Static Web Project - spring

I am having issues implementing spring security for static web project.

I do not have any welcome page or any other java files in my project. I need this to deployed in Tomcat server.
Can any one help me out if I am missing anything in config files

I found the answer for my question.
Two mistakes.
I had to remove /security from intercept-url as security is my context root
Move html folder out of WEB-INF

Spring security login-processing-url throws 405 request method POST not supported

i'm working with spring security 3.1.3 in a spring 3.2.0 project. I've configured two entry points for my security using spring security. The idea is to have a url like /enterprise_login where enterprise users should log in and other url like /login where normal users do their log in action. In my security configuration i've the next code
<security:global-method-security jsr250-annotations="enabled" pre-post-annotations="enabled" secured-annotations="enabled" />
<security:http pattern="/enterprise/**" auto-config="false" use-expressions="true" authentication-manager-ref="autenticationManagerUserEnterprise">
<security:intercept-url pattern="/enterprise/**" access="hasRole('ROLE_ENTERPRISE')" />
<security:intercept-url pattern="/enterprise_login" access="isAnonymous()" />
<security:form-login login-page="/enterprise_login" default-target-url="/" authentication-failure-url="/empresas_login_error" login-processing-url="/enterprise_login_process" />
<security:logout logout-success-url="/" delete-cookies="JSESSIONID"/>
<security:remember-me user-service-ref="enterpriseAuthenticationProvider"/>
<security:session-management invalid-session-url="/">
<security:concurrency-control max-sessions="2" error-if-maximum-exceeded="true" />
</security:session-management>
</security:http>
<security:http pattern="/**" auto-config="false" use-expressions="true" authentication-manager-ref="autenticationManagerUser">
<security:intercept-url pattern="/**" access="permitAll" />
<security:form-login login-page="/login" default-target-url="/" authentication-failure-url="/login_error" />
<security:logout logout-success-url="/" delete-cookies="JSESSIONID"/>
<security:remember-me user-service-ref="UserAuthenticationProvider"/>
<security:session-management invalid-session-url="/">
<security:concurrency-control max-sessions="2" error-if-maximum-exceeded="true" />
</security:session-management>
</security:http>
<security:authentication-manager id="autenticationManagerUserEnterprise">
<security:authentication-provider user-service-ref="enterpriseAuthenticationProvider">
<security:password-encoder hash="plaintext"></security:password-encoder>
</security:authentication-provider>
</security:authentication-manager>
<security:authentication-manager id="autenticationManagerUser">
<security:authentication-provider user-service-ref="UserAuthenticationProvider">
<security:password-encoder hash="plaintext"></security:password-encoder>
</security:authentication-provider>
</security:authentication-manager>
<bean id="enterpriseAuthenticationProvider" class="com.test.security.enterpriseAuthenticationProvider"></bean>
<bean id="UserAuthenticationProvider" class="com.test.security.UserDetailsServiceImp"></bean>
Then when I go to /enterprise_login form and submit the login data I get a "HTTP 405 - Request method 'POST' not supported" throwed by tomcat in the url /enterprise_login_process (the url configured to act as login-processing-url. I can't figure out where the problem is, any help is really appreciated.
PD: My web.xml looks like:
<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"

The issue is that the first configuration currently only matches on URLs that start with "/enterprise/" and the URL to process authentication is configured as "/enterprise_login_process". This means that submitting a POST to "/enterprise_login_process" will submit to the second configuration which is not trying to authenticate "/enterprise_login_process".
To fix this you need to ensure the http#pattern and the login-processing-url are aligned. For example:
<security:http pattern="/enterprise/**"
auto-config="false"
use-expressions="true"
authentication-manager-ref="autenticationManagerUserEnterprise">
<security:intercept-url pattern="/enterprise/login"
access="isAnonymous()" />
<security:intercept-url pattern="/**"
access="hasRole('ROLE_ENTERPRISE')" />
<security:form-login login-page="/enterprise/login"
default-target-url="/"
authentication-failure-url="/enterprise/login?error"
login-processing-url="/enterprise/login_process" />
<security:logout logout-success-url="/"
delete-cookies="JSESSIONID"/>
<security:remember-me
user-service-ref="enterpriseAuthenticationProvider"/>
<security:session-management invalid-session-url="/">
<security:concurrency-control max-sessions="2"
error-if-maximum-exceeded="true" />
</security:session-management>
</security:http>
You will observe that I modified the code to ensure all URLs within the block start with "/enterprise/". This also means that you will need to ensure that your login form for enterprise is updated to POST to "/enterprise/login_process".

spring security. forward after login page

It is snippet from spring security config:
<form-login login-page="/home.jsp"
authentication-failure-url="/loginFailed" default-target-url="/index" />
<logout logout-success-url="/logOut" />
But if I enter successfull I was forward to /logOut
if click log out - go to home.jsp .
if failed login - home.jsp
What is the strange behaviour?

Securing GWT servlets with Spring Security

I'm writing a GWT application secured with Spring security. Logging in works fine, but authorization doesn't.
I've tried using #Secured and #PreAuthorize annotations on my methods and that didn't work either.
For instance, this is a code snippet from AppUserServiceImpl
#Secured("ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR")
#Override
public List<AppUser> fetch(Integer startRow, Integer endRow, Map criteria) {
return appUserManagerBean.getUsers(criteria);
}

I'm looking for the simplest solution and I would prefer not to use AspectJ, help would be greatly appreciated
Where are you mapping your servlet to particular path?
I'm using gwt-sl for integration of RemoteServiceServlets and Spring.
Define Dispatcher servlet in your web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>gwtservice</servlet-name>
<servlet-class> org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet </servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
And declaration and mapping for your gwt-servlet:
<bean name="DeviceListenerServlet" class="your.package.your.SomeService"/>
<bean id="urlMappingGWT" class="org.gwtwidgets.server.spring.GWTHandler">
<property name="mappings">
<map>
<entry key="/service" value-ref="DriverServiceImpl"/>
</map>
</property>
</bean>
And change Annotation in your RemoteService class (in my example it will be #RemoteServiceRelativePath("gwtservice/service")).
Now you can use you #Secured annotation (if you added )
Hope this help.

here's the application :
When i run the application , this URL is opened
http://localhost:8089/MVNOONPProject/authentication and i get this error :
`The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in
a way that will never complete.`
I'm sure it's a problem with the web.xml . But i didn't find how to solve it .
Thank you in advance
It usually makes sense to protect only proper web pages which would be JSF rendered ones here. For sure you should not intercept all urls or else login won't be possible. This assumes you have a working login page under /authentication.
<http auto-config="true" use-expressions="false">
<intercept-url pattern="/**/*.faces" access="ROLE_USER" />
<intercept-url pattern="/**/*.jsf" access="ROLE_USER" />
<intercept-url pattern="/**/*.xhtml" access="ROLE_USER" />
<form-login login-page="/authentication" login-processing-url="/static
/j_spring_security_check" authentication-failure
url="/login?login_error=t" />
</http>
Try 2 things
Add
< intercept-url pattern="/authentication" access="IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY" />
Add default-target-url in your form-login tag
default-target-url='/home.xhtml'
One more thing you are using a custom login page and your http auto-config="true" change it to false if you are using custom login page
So your security config should be like this (login-processing-url is also not needed)
<http auto-config="false" use-expressions="false">
<intercept-url pattern="/**" access="ROLE_USER" />
< intercept-url pattern="/authentication" access="IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY" />
<form-login login-page="/authentication" authentication-failure
url="/login?login_error=t" default-target-url='/home.xhtml'/>
Thats because , you spring security configuration redirects cyclically.
try this ,
<http auto-config="true" use-expressions="false">
<intercept-url pattern="/login.jsp*" filters="none"/>
<intercept-url pattern="/**" access="ROLE_USER" />
<form-login login-page="/authentication" login-processing-url="/static
/j_spring_security_check" authentication-failure
url="/login?login_error=t" />
</http>
Edit
<http auto-config="true" use-expressions="false">
<intercept-url pattern="/authentication" filters="none"/>
<intercept-url pattern="/login.jsp*" filters="none"/>
<intercept-url pattern="/**" access="ROLE_USER" />
<form-login login-page="/authentication" login-processing-url="/static
/j_spring_security_check" authentication-failure
url="/login?login_error=t" />
</http>
Since the pattern="/**" intercepts all URL requests including login page itself, any user has to be logged in even to access the login page.. so after hours of trying, following did the trick for me..
<intercept-url pattern="/login**" access="ROLE_ANONYMOUS" />
<intercept-url pattern="/resources/**" access="ROLE_ANONYMOUS, ROLE_USER, ROLE_ADMIN" />
<intercept-url pattern="/**" access="ROLE_USER" />
<form-login
login-page="/login"
default-target-url="/home"
authentication-failure-url="/login?error=true" />
Notice,
the order of intercept-url tags
pattern="/**" basically intercepts all url request, even resources like css and image file. that's why the second line is needed.
Other answers were quite close but weren't working with Spring MVC 3.2.3.RELEASE version
I think this might cause other problems in the future, so the better approach might be,
<intercept-url pattern="/admin*" access="ROLE_ADMIN" />
<intercept-url pattern="/user*" access="ROLE_USER, ROLE_ADMIN" />
<form-login
login-page="/login"
default-target-url="/home"

It's seems so easy to use spring security following a tutorial, but when I try to do the same with this app I can get it to work (I must admit that I haven't written ) .
/-----------------Edit-------------------/
Now with the help of some great people, I finally got the application to ask the user to authenticate himself,but now I've run into a new problem: When I try to access the application using one of the users listed below(applicationContext-security.xml), I get this message :
Here's web.xml code:

This application is currently using spring 2.5 with spring-security-2.0.4 (the same version from the tutorial I've been following).
Have you tried what the error suggests and added an alias attribute to your authentication-manager? Something like:
<authentication-manager alias="myAuthenticationManager">
<authentication-provider>
...
