Spring Security Wiring Drift

spring-security-wiring-drift

Spring Security misconfiguration causes authentication to fail because the configured auth mechanisms and injected dependencies drift: interactive login defaults to formLogin while OAuth isn’t enabled, and AuthenticationManager lacks a UserDetailsService bean to supply credentials/headers.

MATCHESSolution

Tension: after logging in, if I navigate to another page, the tokens in my store reset to null.

MATCHESSolution

The solution I found is to add a new schema for the login. — loginService. Tension: picking only the email and password from FormType in loginService. Outcome: And picking only the email and password from FormType in loginService.

MATCHESSolution

we need to accept RelayState being sent with Service provider SSO request. — keycloak verifies my saml response and if I have mappers created. Tension: I was ignoring this. Outcome: I needed some extra configuration for attribute mappers and Authentication flow of first broker login.

MATCHESSolution

You can use this code to achive this. Tension: only one type of account can be logged in in swagger ui. Outcome: class ShopOAuth2PasswordBearer(OAuth2PasswordBearer): pass class UserOAuth2PasswordBearer(OAuth2PasswordBearer): pass.

MATCHESSolution

you likely need to write your own `org.apache.ignite.internal.processors.security.GridSecurityProcessor` implementation — When customizing security. Tension: the default `org.apache.ignite.internal.processors.authentication.IgniteAuthenticationProcessor` only supports authenticating thin clients. Outcome: GridGain has a more advanced implementation with LDAP/OpenID/JAAS integrations and authorization/permissions/RBAC.

MATCHESSolution

adding an tag, where I pass the credentials in the base64-encoded format — openapi-generator-maven-plugin configuration. Tension: This should allow the plugin to authenticate with the server hosting the shared model. Outcome: pass the credentials in the base64-encoded format.

MATCHESSolution

Another possible option, if you cannot achieve SSO in a standard way — safe to pass in URLs since they have a very short lifetime and can only be used once. Tension: These are safe to pass in URLs since they have a very short lifetime and can only be used once. Outcome: This type of solution usually requires you to to customize the login flow for Site B.

MATCHESSolution

Ideally, use a standard protocol like OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect — where an authorization server provides single sign on capabilities. Tension: to enable the above.

MATCHESSolution

Finally succe. Follow the instructions provided in the Apache Solr official documentation for setting up the Basic Authentication Plugin. — Create a security.json file and populate it with the provided JSON configuration. Outcome: Once the security.json is properly set up, start Solr and access it via the web interface.

MATCHESSolution

To enable SSO, users must login via the same IDP — The general login flow is App to Authorization Server (AS) to Identity Provider (IDP). Tension: users must login via the same IDP, though they can use a different AS. Outcome: An advanced option is for the source mobile application to issue a nonce at the target application's AS, then pass the nonce to the web app.

MATCHESSolution

You need to tell Spring Security to ignore resources under src/main/resources/static. — adding `http.authorizeRequests((requests) -> requests. .requestMatchers(PathRequest.toStaticResources().atCommonLocations()).permitAll()) ` to your security config. Tension: remove all the `"/static/...` references from your existing configuration. Outcome: adding `http.authorizeRequests((requests) -> requests. .requestMatchers(PathRequest.toStaticResources().atCommonLocations()).permitAll()) `.

MATCHESSolution

Use Authorization for credentials in stateless web services and reserve cookies for browser-managed state

MATCHESSolution

Refactor the configuration to define a @Bean SecurityFilterChain (and relevant Authentication setup) instead of extending WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter, using the current HttpSecurity DSL such as authorizeHttpRequests with requestMatchers and anyRequest().authenticated(), plus formLogin/logout configuration.

MATCHESSolution

there is no need to manually define a bean for AuthenticationProvider — if you create your own UserDetailsService bean. Tension: if you define 2 or more UserDetailsService beans. Outcome: then u need to define your own Authenticationprovider.

MATCHESSolution

add `@EnableWebSecurity` annotation on your `SecurityConfig` class level — You will have something like this:. Tension: it is required because:. Outcome: `@EnableWebSecurity` is a marker annotation.

MATCHESSolution

The most correct OAuth way to design this is to use scopes and claims. — access tokens and the user identity to flow between microservices. Tension: without security concerns. Outcome: The APIs also check for required scopes.

MATCHESSolution

Use an authentication/authorities converter to map realm_access.roles into Spring Security authorities

MATCHESSolution

Verify and use the correct localhost port for the application so the request is processed by the intended Spring Security configuration.

MATCHESSolution

Define and register a UserDetailsService bean (e.g., an InMemoryUserDetailsManager) in the configuration so it can be injected into authManager.

MATCHESSolution

Spring Boot 4 introduced some major changes where, by default, it uses Jackson 3 instead of Jackson 2. Outcome: making it a more suitable candidate over the no-arg counterpart.

MATCHESSolution

But you can try this workaround solution to see if this works: — spring-cloud-gcp-starter-secretmanager 7.3.2. Tension: enforce Spring Cloud GCP 7.x to use Spring Cloud Context 5.0.0. Outcome: which uses Spring Boot 4.0.0 starters.

MATCHESSolution

Replace `formLogin(Customizer.withDefaults())` with `oauth2Login(Customizer.withDefaults())` so Spring Security performs the OAuth2 login flow (e.g., GitHub) for unauthenticated requests.

MATCHESSolution

If you see 2 versions of JPA — Spring Boot 3.3.x pulling in Spring Data JPA 3.3.x but another library in your project bringing an older Spring Data JPA. Tension: then remove the older version. Outcome: remove the older version.

MATCHESSolution

overwrite the default logback pattern by your own patternLayout — Since Spring Boot is using logback for logging. Outcome: masking your password properties.

MATCHESSolution

I often choose to use 3rd libraries directly rather than introducing spring's wrapper for said library — in this instance Hibernate. Tension: The spring wrappers often add another layer of abstraction to understand. Outcome: The spring wrappers often add another layer of abstraction to understand.

MATCHESSolution

Align all Spring Boot/Spring Security/Authorization Server dependency versions (e.g., upgrade the Spring Boot plugin to the same version and remove hardcoded version overrides), and prefer using org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-oauth2-authorization-server so transitive dependencies match.

MATCHESSolution

Solution: — leveraging Spring Security for Authentication. Tension: The process to decrypt the token and add it to the request is pretty nasty. Outcome: I worked around the issue and got it working.

MATCHESSolution

Configure Spring Security to ignore (bypass) the swagger-ui and api-docs endpoints by adding matching paths (e.g., /swagger-ui/** and /v3/api-docs/**, plus /swagger-ui.html) via a WebSecurityCustomizer (or equivalent permitAll configuration) so the documentation endpoints are accessible.

MATCHESSolution

I also needed to change my request matcher — if (!swagger && !error) then apply CustomAuthenticationFilter.

MATCHESSolution

calls requesting the Provider afterwards do not work (the user returns null — after a Spring 5 -> 6 (Spring Boot 3.3.4) migration. Tension: I can sign in to my site, but calls requesting the Provider afterwards do not work. Outcome: I fixed this today, and found the following out that helped resolve this in my custom filter code.
