How to authenticate every request with BASIC in Spring Security?

Now there is authentication only once when I open my browser. I want to authenticate each request without need to reopen the browser.
This is my configuration class. What can I add to configure function?
#EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/").hasRole("ADMIN")
.anyRequest()
.authenticated()
.and()
.sessionManagement()
.sessionCreationPolicy(SessionCreationPolicy.STATELESS)
.and().csrf().disable().httpBasic();
}
#Autowired
protected void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
auth.inMemoryAuthentication()
.withUser("").password("{noop}").roles("ADMIN");
}
}

Spring Boot Security: How to skip login for localhost?

My working spring boot SecurityConfig currently looks like this:
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/css/**", "/js/**", "/img/**", "/error", "/webjars/**", "/login", "**/favicon.ico").permitAll()
.anyRequest().authenticated()
.and()
.formLogin().failureUrl("/login?state=badauth")
.loginPage("/login")
.loginProcessingUrl("/processLogin")
.successHandler(successHandler())
.failureHandler(failureHandler())
.permitAll()
.and()
.logout().logoutRequestMatcher(new AntPathRequestMatcher("/logout")).logoutSuccessUrl("/login?state=loggedout");
;
}
I am trying to allow users on the localhost to gain access to all resources without logging in. I have tried to insert the following into various locations within the chain:
.antMatchers("/**").access("hasIpAddress(\"127.0.0.1\") or hasIpAddress(\"::1\")")
Which always causes non-localhost access to fail with a forbidden.
How can I bypass login for users on the localhost only?

Try this
DemoApplication.java
#SpringBootApplication
public class DemoApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args);
}
}
TestController.java
#RestController
public class TestController {
#GetMapping("/secured")
public ResponseEntity secured() {
return ResponseEntity.ok("Access granted");
}
}
WebSecurityConfig.java
#EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
public void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/**")
.access("hasIpAddress('127.0.0.1') or hasIpAddress('::1') or isAuthenticated()") // 127.0.0.1 and localhost do not need to authenticate on any url
.anyRequest().authenticated()
.and()
.formLogin()
.permitAll();
}
#Autowired
public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
auth.inMemoryAuthentication()
.withUser("user").password(passwordEncoder().encode("password"))
.authorities("ROLE_USER");
}
#Bean
public PasswordEncoder passwordEncoder() {
return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
}
}

Try to add hasIpAddress() before authenticated like this:
.antMatchers("/**").hasIpAddress("127.0.0.1").anyRequest().authenticated();

You can try disabling default security in Spring Boot by adding this line in application.properties file of your local/dev profile:
security.basic.enabled=false

controller request works fine on https and http. it should work only on https

I have a problem regarding on the controllers request from a spring boot application.
I have made a certificate in order to run the app on https. The certificate works fine, it is valid.
My main problem is when i test my methods from the controller through postman they(the url reques) work fine on https and http...it shouldn't work on http. Can someone help on this ?
This is my WebSecurityConfig class:
#Configuration
#EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Autowired
private AuthenticationManager authenticationManager;
public static final String AUTHENTICATED_HEADER_NAME = "Authenticated";
public static final String AUTHENTICATED_TRUE = "true";
public static final String AUTHENTICATED_FALSE = "false";
#Autowired
public void globalUserDetails(final AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
PasswordEncoder passwordEncoder = new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
auth.userDetailsService(authenticationManager).passwordEncoder(passwordEncoder);
}
#Override
#Bean(value = "authenticationManagerBean")
public org.springframework.security.authentication.AuthenticationManager authenticationManagerBean() throws Exception {
return super.authenticationManagerBean();
}
#Configuration
#Order(1)
public static class HTTPBasicSecurityConfigurationAdapter extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
//todo check how we can change the root url of swagger
#Override
public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
web.ignoring().antMatchers("/documentation**", "/configuration/**", "/v2/api-docs**", "/swagger-ui.html", "/webjars/**", "/swagger-resources/**");
}
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
//todo http basic allows access to all urls after login
http
.httpBasic()
.and()
.csrf().disable()
.antMatcher("/api/**")
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/login").permitAll()
.anyRequest()
.authenticated();
}
}
#Configuration
#Order(2)
public static class FormLoginSecurityConfigurerAdapter extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.csrf()
//todo more investigation is required to check if it is safe to ignore csrf for login
.ignoringAntMatchers("/login")
.csrfTokenRepository(CookieCsrfTokenRepository.withHttpOnlyFalse())
.and()
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/login").permitAll()
.anyRequest().authenticated()
.and()
.formLogin()
.permitAll()
.successHandler((httpServletRequest, httpServletResponse, authentication) -> {
httpServletResponse.setHeader(AUTHENTICATED_HEADER_NAME, AUTHENTICATED_TRUE);
})
.failureHandler((httpServletRequest, httpServletResponse, e) -> {
httpServletResponse.setHeader(AUTHENTICATED_HEADER_NAME, AUTHENTICATED_FALSE);
httpServletResponse.setStatus(SC_UNAUTHORIZED);
})
.and()
.logout().permitAll()
.and()
.addFilterBefore(new CorsFilter(), ChannelProcessingFilter.class)
.addFilterBefore(new CsrfHeaderFilter(), CsrfFilter.class);
http.exceptionHandling().authenticationEntryPoint((HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response,
AuthenticationException authException) -> {
if (authException != null) {
response.setStatus(SC_UNAUTHORIZED);
}
});
}
}
#Configuration
#Order(3)
public static class TestClass extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.headers()
.httpStrictTransportSecurity()
.includeSubDomains(true)
.maxAgeInSeconds(31536000);
}
}
}
and this is my spring boot version
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>1.4.2.RELEASE</version>
<relativePath></relativePath>
</parent>

Your question is touching on several points:
you can require clients to require secure channels, by adding the security.require_ssl=true configuration property (see the Spring Boot reference documentation about HTTPS)
or use the following configuration snippet http.requiresChannel().anyRequest().requiresSecure();
you might want to enforce that as well with HSTS in Spring Security

None of the above helped the situation I was in.
I figured out that chrome (postman) was automatically transforming my http requests to https.
On the other browsers http requests didn't worked.

Spring Security session/xsrf configuration by path

I have an existing Web application that uses spring security for authentication. It is also using session management to allow the user to be logged in for a predefined period of time, and XSRF tokens to prevent XSS attacks.
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
// #formatter:off
http
.exceptionHandling()
.authenticationEntryPoint(restEntryPoint())
.and()
.headers().addHeaderWriter(new StaticHeadersWriter("Server",""))
.and()
.httpBasic()
.authenticationEntryPoint(restEntryPoint())
.and()
.logout().addLogoutHandler(myLogoutHandler())
.logoutSuccessHandler(logoutSuccessHandler())
.and()
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/index.html", "/login", "/").permitAll()
.antMatchers(HttpMethod.OPTIONS).denyAll()
.antMatchers(HttpMethod.HEAD).denyAll()
.anyRequest().authenticated()
.and()
.authenticationProvider(myAuthenticationProvider)
.csrf()
.csrfTokenRepository(csrfTokenRepository())
.and()
.addFilterAfter(csrfHeaderFilter(), SessionManagementFilter.class);
// #formatter:on
}
This works great for the Web application. However, now I am requested to add a configuration that would let third party client applications to invoke my services via pure REST calls, i.e. they should be completely stateless and use http basic authentication - no session should be created and xsrf should be disabled (I think...).
I can define a shared URL path for all those client API calls. But how can I leverage my existing security configuration and server to support both requirements?

Answering my own question...
Spring security allows you use multiple configurations based on order. In the documentation, it gives the following example:
#EnableWebSecurity
public class MultiHttpSecurityConfig {
#Autowired
public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) { 1
auth
.inMemoryAuthentication()
.withUser("user").password("password").roles("USER").and()
.withUser("admin").password("password").roles("USER", "ADMIN");
}
#Configuration
#Order(1) 2
public static class ApiWebSecurityConfigurationAdapter extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.antMatcher("/api/**") 3
.authorizeRequests()
.anyRequest().hasRole("ADMIN")
.and()
.httpBasic();
}
}
#Configuration 4
public static class FormLoginWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.authorizeRequests()
.anyRequest().authenticated()
.and()
.formLogin();
}
}
}
In the example above, /api would be permitted only for ADMIN roles, while other paths will be configured with the default FormLoginWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter.

Spring security with annotations: separated paths (multiply entry points)

I'm using Spring Boot with annotations and Spring Security.
I need to implement two different kind of authentication:
ProviderApiAuthenticationProvider only for "/providerrpc" and "/api/(system|provider|drm)/"
TestAuthFilter (Custom authentificator, now empty), only for "/test/**"
In current configuration on both URL's app requests httpBasic authentification and TestAuthFilter::doFilter() also called on both URL's.
So, whats wrong?
WebSecurityConfig.java:
#Configuration
#EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
private final ProviderApiAuthenticationProvider providerApiAuthenticationProvider;
private final TestAuthFilter testAuthFilter;
#Autowired
public WebSecurityConfig(TestAuthFilter testAuthFilter, ProviderApiAuthenticationProvider providerApiAuthenticationProvider) {
this.testAuthFilter = testAuthFilter;
this.providerApiAuthenticationProvider = providerApiAuthenticationProvider;
}
#Override
protected void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
auth.authenticationProvider(providerApiAuthenticationProvider);
}
#SuppressWarnings("SpellCheckingInspection")
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.authenticationProvider(providerApiAuthenticationProvider)
.authorizeRequests()
.regexMatchers(
"^/providerrpc/",
"^/api/(system|provider|drm)/"
)
.hasAuthority(Role.ROLE_PROVIDER_API.getAuthority())
.and()
.httpBasic()
.realmName("Provider API")
.and()
.addFilterBefore(testAuthFilter, BasicAuthenticationFilter.class)
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers(
"/test/**"
)
.authenticated()
.anyRequest()
.permitAll()
;
}
}
TestAuthFilter.java:
#Component
public class TestAuthFilter extends GenericFilterBean {
#Override
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
// TODO: Later implement via SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication();
chain.doFilter(request,response);
}
}

I found solution which provides two independent entry points for authentication in the official documentation: Spring Security: 5.7 Multiple HttpSecurity
Here is the solution:
MultiHttpSecurityConfig.java
#EnableWebSecurity
public class MultiHttpSecurityConfig {
#Configuration
#Order(1)
public static class RestApiWebSecurityConfigurationAdapter extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.antMatcher("/api/rest/**")
.authorizeRequests()
.anyRequest().hasAuthority(Role.ROLE_USER.getAuthority())
.and()
.httpBasic()
.realmName("Rest API")
.and().csrf().disable()
;
}
}
#Configuration
#Order(2)
public static class TestWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.antMatcher("/test**")
.authorizeRequests()
.anyRequest().authenticated()
.and()
.httpBasic()
.realmName("Test zone");
}
}
}
