I'm using Spring 3.2 + primefaces 3.5 + hibernate 4.1.9
The security context is:
<http auto-config='false' use-expressions="true" >
<intercept-url pattern="/**/login" access="permitAll" requires-channel="https"/>
<intercept-url pattern="/**/registration" access="permitAll" requires-channel="https" />
<intercept-url pattern="/**/cart" access="permitAll" requires-channel="https" />
<intercept-url pattern="/**/cart/**" access="hasAnyRole('USER','ADMIN')" requires-channel="https" />
<intercept-url pattern="/pages/adm/**" access="hasRole('ADMIN')" requires-channel="https" />
<intercept-url pattern="/*/account**" access="hasAnyRole('USER','ADMIN')" requires-channel="https" />
<intercept-url pattern="/**" requires-channel="any" />
<form-login login-page="/loginRedirect"
authentication-failure-handler-ref="pennyUrlAuthenticationFailureHandler"
authentication-success-handler-ref="pennyAuthSuccessHandler"
default-target-url="/pages/account/orders.xhtml" />
<logout logout-success-url="/" invalidate-session="true"/>
</http>
If I go to a page that requires HTTPS, for the rest of session, it will use the HTTPS protocol, even if the user is not authenticated.
If I go to https ://mystite/en/cart, HTTPS will be used for all browsing session.
I do not want to switch HTTPS to HTTP forever, but only if the user is not authenticated.
Can I force the HTTP for non-authenticated users?
If I go to a page that requires HTTPS, for the rest of session, it

That's correct because of
<intercept-url pattern="/**/cart/**" access="hasAnyRole('USER','ADMIN')" requires-channel="https" />
Also, because of
<intercept-url pattern="/**" requires-channel="any" />
it will stick with HTTPS once the user requested a resource that requires HTTPS. Why would it have to switch back if you say any (HTTPS is as good as any)?
Can I force the HTTP for non-authenticated users?
No, not that I know of. Personally, I don't think this would make much sense either.

I have successfully setup an application using Spring Security. When users request the secured pages, Spring automatically redirects these users to a HTTPS page.
<http auto-config="true" use-expressions="true" once-per-request="true" >
<intercept-url pattern="/login" access="permitAll" requires-channel="https"/>
<intercept-url pattern="/my-account" access="isAuthenticated()" requires-channel="https"/>
<logout />
<form-login login-page="/login" />
<port-mappings>
<port-mapping http="8080" https="8443"/>
<port-mapping http="80" https="443"/>
</port-mappings>
</http>
But when the users navigate, the next other pages that does not have sensitive information are still using HTTPS. I would like these normal pages accessed using just HTTP.
Is any intelligent way to do that? All the other pages that I do not configured as HTTPS channel I would like to be accessed using just HTTP. I tried to use some wildcards but without success.
Extra detail:
HTTPS uses more server CPU. I have a lot of requests on some pages and I would like to avoid this extra cost.
Make your entire site HTTPS. Performance change is minimal these days and you won't screw over your users by exposing their session cookies over HTTP.

In Spring-Security, you can do this way -
<http auto-config="true" use-expressions="true" once-per-request="true" >
<intercept-url pattern="/login" access="permitAll" requires-channel="https"/>
<intercept-url pattern="/my-account" access="isAuthenticated()" requires-channel="https"/>
<intercept-url pattern="/**" access="permitAll" requires-channel="http"/>
All other url's besides "/login" and "/my-account" will be served over http.
In addition to this, you must set the secure flag for the cookie.
By setting the secure flag, the browser will prevent the transmission of a cookie over an unencrypted channel.

I have setup Spring Security on my webapp project.
My application setting for session expiration time is 15 min.
The spring security config is pretty basic and I have
<http use-expressions="true" disable-url-rewriting="true">
<csrf />
<intercept-url pattern="/login/auth" access="permitAll" />
<intercept-url pattern="/login*" access="permitAll" />
<intercept-url pattern="/about" access="permitAll"/>
<intercept-url pattern="/contact-us" access="permitAll"/>
<intercept-url pattern="/" access="permitAll"/>
<intercept-url pattern="/**" access="hasRole('ROLE_USER')" requires-channel="any"/>
<session-management invalid-session-url="/?invalidSession=1"
session-authentication-error-url="/login?session=fail"
session-fixation-protection="migrateSession">
<concurrency-control max-sessions="1" error-if-maximum-exceeded="true"
expired-url="/login?invalidSession=1"/>
</session-management>
Now the problem I'm having is that for example given the user sends an invalid session id spring always redirects to the homepage with '/?invalidSession=1'.
I'm saying it is a problem due to the fact that if the user, after a certain period of time, tries for example to go to the /contact-us page (which us an unprotected resource) he gets redirected to the homepage.
I think one solution would be that spring creates a new session and then redirects to the previously requested resource instead of always the invalid-session-url.
How do you deal with these situations?
spring security file:
<intercept-url pattern="/login**" access="permitAll" />
<intercept-url pattern="/resources**" access="permitAll" />
<intercept-url pattern="/**" access="isAuthenticated()" />
<access-denied-handler error-page="/login"/>
<form-login
login-page="/login"
default-target-url="/planning/view"
authentication-failure-url="/login?error"
login-processing-url="/login?process"
/>
<logout logout-success-url="/login" />
</http>
I want to deny access to all pages except:
- login and login processing pages
- resources folder and subfolders
I should have the correct rules after searching a bit but they don't seem to work. I am not able to see the login?error page and it's not willing to login my user.
I'm using Spring to handle security in my JSF application. I have a login page at /login and I've configured Spring like this:
<http authentication-manager-ref="authenticationManager">
<intercept-url pattern="/login" access="IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY" />
<intercept-url pattern="/admin" access="ROLE_ADMIN" />
<intercept-url pattern="/javax.faces.resource/**" access="IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY" />
<intercept-url pattern="/**" access="ROLE_ADMIN,ROLE_USER" />
<form-login login-page="/login" authentication-failure-url="/login" />
<logout logout-url="/logout" />
</http>
I want the admin page at /admin to be available only for users with the ROLE_ADMIN role. Users with ROLE_ADMIN or ROLE_USER may access pages starting from the application root.
When I login with a user having either role I see the page you should see after login. However, whatever my next action may be I get redirected to /login like I'm not logged in. Can someone please explain this as I'm trying to get this thing to work for a day now. I've been reading the Spring 3.1.x documentation but it doesn't give me a clue about how to solve the problem. I'm running Spring 3.1.1.Release by the way.
Extra bonus info: the page you should see after login has an element that should only render if the user had ROLE_ADIN. I can see that element after login. The problems began when I implemented PrettyFaces. I've searched the web for common problems and only came up with that the PrettyFaces filter should appear after the Spring security filter. This is the case so it should work right?
UPDATE: I've updated my config to use expressions. However the problem still exists.
<http authentication-manager-ref="authenticationManager" use-expressions="true">
<intercept-url pattern="/login" access="permitAll" />
<intercept-url pattern="/admin" access="hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')" />
<intercept-url pattern="/javax.faces.resource/**" access="permitAll" />
<intercept-url pattern="/**" access="hasAnyRole('ROLE_ADMIN','ROLE_USER')" />
<form-login login-page="/login" authentication-failure-url="/login" />
<logout logout-url="/logout" />
</http>
Output in Firebug's console just after login (the page tries an AJAX call):
First, always debug Spring Security when having problems (add log4j.logger.org.springframework.security=DEBUG).
Second, I think that you wanted hasAnyRole:
<intercept-url pattern="/**" access="hasAnyRole(ROLE_ADMIN,ROLE_USER)" />
plus add use-expressions="true" to http:
<http authentication-manager-ref="authenticationManager" use-expressions="true">
to allow ROLE_ADMIN xor ROLE_USER users to access page. In your current config user must have both roles to access /**.
Imagine the user A have multiple logins (are logged in) in diferent machines. When he logs out in one machine, the other sessions should automatically redirect to login page.
how i can implement this in spring security?
For now, i have tis http configuration on security.xml
<http auto-config="true" use-expressions="true">
<anonymous />
<intercept-url pattern="/login.do" access="permitAll" />
<intercept-url pattern="/**" access="hasRole('ROLE_USER')" />
<form-login login-page="/login.do" />
<logout logout-url="/j_spring_security_logout"
success-handler-ref="myLogoutSuccessHandler" />
<remember-me data-source-ref="dataSource" />
</http>
I would recomment you to have a look at SessionRegistry .You can check this here . There has been a discussion on this at Is it possible to invalidate a spring security session? . Check this out too
Spring sessions are stored as JsessionID cookies. Check here for a discussion on cookie removal.
