No words about Spring Security.How easy it has been to secure java web applications using spring security. Spring security itself has many modules such as SAML2,OAUTH, Spring Cloud Security,LDAP etc.Also, the spring security feature to provide method level and URL level authorization ia very handy.
In the following tutorials, starting from basic authentication we have included JWT authentication as well as OAUTH.
Creating a sample Spring Boot Security 6 and SAML2-based SSO authentication app and overriding the default configuration of Spring Boot SAML2....
Read now➤In this article, we are going to create a REST API-based Spring Boot application to demonstrate the use of Spring Boot 3, Spring Security 6, and the latest version of JWT....
Read now➤We will discuss adding spring security to the spring boot admin server console and discuss different ways such as basic authentication and JWT authentication to secure our admin console....
Read now➤In this article, we will be creating a sample spring boot application with REST APIs exposed. These REST APIs will be secured with OAUTH2 protocol with JWT as a TokenStore. In the client side, we will be creating an angular 7 based application to consume the REST APIs. Hence, the angular application will first get the OAUTH2 authorization token from an AuthorizationServer and then consume the REST APIs to perform CRUD operation on a User entity. Here we will be using a MySQL database to read user credentials instead of in-memory authentication....
Read now➤In this article, we will learn about securing reactive REST endpoints with spring Webflux security. We will implement token-based authentication and authorization using JWT provider. In addition, we will have REST endpoints for user login and registration too. We do not require any token to access these APIs but all the other APIs to perform different CRUD operations will be secured one. We will have Mongo DB integrated with it to store user details and respective roles to configure a role-based authorization system. All the endpoints in this article will be the functional endpoints and we will be using ReactiveMongoRepository to support reactive repository....
Read now➤With the release of Spring Security 5, one of the new features is the WebFlux for securing reactive applications. In this article, we will be discussing about securing REST endpoints exposed through reactive applications. At first, we will make configuration to use basic authentication httpBasic() to secure the REST endpoints and then in the next article we will extend this application to provide token-based custom authentication using JWT. The authorization process will be role-based and we will be using method based reactive security using @PreAuthorize....
In my last article, we developed a spring security 5 OAuth application with google sign in and customized most of the default behavior. In this article, we will take a deeper look into customizing OAuth2 login. We have already added social login support to our app and now we will extend it to have an option for custom user registration or signup using email and password. After successful registration, we should be able to support JWT token-based authentication in the app....
Read now➤In this series of tutorial, we will be integrating social login with spring boot application using spring security 5 provided features. In this particular tutorial, we will be adding Google OAuth login and custom registration support in a spring boot app and in coming articles, we will be integrating other social platforms such as facebook, twitter, and Github with it....
Read now➤While dealing with the security of a web application, every application tends to provide their custom authentication process. Based on the level of security required, the authentication process varies. Any application on the web is required to have an encrypted password flow from a client to a server. Sometimes authentication exception response needs to be altered. But if we are using spring security to secure our app then we have some pre-defined protocols and ways of handling these things. But good thing is that spring security provides flexible implementation to extend and customize this behavior as per our requirement by adding custom filters in the spring security filter chain in the order we want....
Read now➤In this tutorial, we will learn about securing our spring boot application with spring security LDAP authentication. We will have multiple users with role-based(ADMIN, USER) entries in an LDIF file and REST APIs exposed with the help of a controller class. Whenever a user tries to access the secured endpoint, the user will be redirected to a login page and after a successful login, the user will be allowed to access the secured APIs....
Read now➤In this article, we will be securing REST APIs with role based OAUTH2 implementation. To do so, we will be creating two custom roles as ADMIN and USER and we will use @secured annotation provided by spring security to secure our controller methods based on role. To some of the endpoints, we will provide access to ADMIN role and others will be accesible to user having ADMIN and USER role....
For exception handling in REST, we generally use @ControllerAdvice and @ExceptionHandler in Spring MVC but these handler works if the request is handled by the DispatcherServlet. However, security-related exceptions occur before that as it is thrown by Filters....
In any web app, security has always been a great concern. Today, we will be securing our Spring MVC app using Spring Security login form feature.To build this application we will be using Spring boot to build it and hence we will have a complete javaconfig. Using Spring boot, different boiler plate configurations will be automatically removed. We will also take care of protecting the app against Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks....
In this article, we will be creating a sample REST CRUD APIs and provide JWT role based authorization using spring security to these APIs. We will be using spring boot 2.0 and JWT 0.9.0. In the DB, we will have two roles defined as ADMIN and USER with custom UserDetailsService implemented and based on these roles the authorization will be decided. We will be using spring data to perform our CRUD operations and spring provided annotations such as @PreAuthorize, @Secured and @EnableGlobalMethodSecurity for authorization....
In this article, we will be discussing about OAUTH2 implementation with spring boot security and JWT token and securing REST APIs.In my last article of Spring Boot Security OAUTH2 Example, we created a sample application for authentication and authorization using OAUTH2 with default token store but spring security OAUTH2 implementation also provides functionality to define custom token store.Here, we will be creating a sample spring security OAUTH2 application using JwtTokenStore.Using JwtTokenStore as token provider allows us to customize the token generated with TokenEnhancer to add additional claims....
Read now➤In this tutorial, we will be adding jwt authentication in an angular5 single page application having backened server supported by spring boot with integration of spring security.Having said that we will have a sample angular5 example application with HttpInterceptor integrated with it to intercept all the HTTP request to add jwt authorization token in the header and in the server we will have some REST endpoints exposed and secured using spring security.The resource will be accessible only if valid jwt token is found in the header.We will be using Mysql DB for persistant storage....
Read now➤In this post we will be securing our REST APIs with JWT(JSOn Web Token) authentication. We will be using spring boot maven based configuration to develop and secure our APIs. We will be extending OncePerRequestFilter class to define our custom authentication mechanism using JWT.The authentication mechanism can be applied to URLs as well as for methods. And atlast, we will be testing the implementation with google advanced REST client....
Read now➤In this post we will be discussing about securing REST APIs using Spring Boot Security OAuth2 with an example.We will be implementing AuthorizationServer, ResourceServer and some REST API for different crud operations and test these APIs using Postman.Here we will be using mysql database to read user credentials instead of in-memory authentication.Also, to ease our ORM solution, we will be using spring-data and BCryptPasswordEncoder for password encoding....
Read now➤This post is about adding spring security to spring boot actuators endpoints. We will be discusing about securing actuator endpoints by using properties file configurations as well as AuthenticationManagerBuilder. Apart from this we will also take a loook into how can we disable restrictions to certain endpoints that...
Read now➤Today, we will take a look into hashing and encryption techniques to save passwords in the DB in an encrypted way instead of a plain-text.As there are many encoding mechanism supported by spring, We will be using Bcrypt encoder mechanism provide by spring security as it is the best encoder available.In the mean time, we will be using Spring boot to avoid common configurations....
Sometimes it's required to redirect user to different pages post login based on the role of the user.For example if an user has an USER role then we want him to be redirected to /user and similarly to /admin for users having ADMIN role.In this post, we will be discussing about how to redirect user to different pages post login based on the role of the user.We will be implementing AuthenticationSuccessHandler of...
In this post, let us discuss about auhtenticating user present in database using spring security with form login feature. In this course, we will be using hibernate with integration to spring to connect to the database. We will continue to use spring boot features similar to previous posts to avoid common configurations.By using spring security we will ensure that our app is secured against Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks....
