Hi MKyong,
I am new to JAVA,and trying to use AuthenticationProvider and getting following error.
its not allowing me to override the method.. i can see one of ur example how would it do it.Please help me
Multiple markers at this line
– The method authenticate(Authentication) of type authenticationProvider must override a superclass
method
@Component
public class authenticationProvider implements AuthenticationProvider {
public static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory
.getLogger(authenticationProvider.class);
public authenticationProvider()
{
logger.info(“Jai Sriram constructor….”);
}
@Override
public Authentication authenticate(Authentication authentication) throws AuthenticationException {
logger.info(“Jai Sriram”);
String name = authentication.getName();
String password = authentication.getCredentials().toString();
return null;
}
@Override
public boolean supports(Class authentication) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
}
Hi MKyong,
Could you give an example of using Servlets in spring boot and possible scenarios where it can be required. I have searched a lot but could not find the right way.
Is their any project which contains Spring security + file upload at specific location + java configuration ?
Hi Yong, you posts are always helpful in learning java technology. If possible could you please share some sample programs on LDAP+Spring+RESTful web services. Demonstrating authentication of username and password, providing authorization, and some curd on LDAP.
Thanks……
Hi,
i have implemented sprig security in my app using this example and login works fine however I couldn’t either fetch or submit data to and from the backend.In both the cases I get 403 with following message…
Invalid CSRF Token ‘null’ was found on the request parameter ‘csrf’ or header ‘X-CSRF-TOKEN’.Access to the specified resource has been forbidden
I tried after adding below code snippets one after another but error remain same.

Any suggestion would be greately appreciated.

Could you please illustrate how to use spring security with angular js

Hi can you please provide spring social registration and login
Hi MKyong – I trying to implement role based authorization – Here i have my own login mechanism in place.How can i set the user details to Spring so that when user access any url it will check for the roles.
Hi Mykong,
Do you have some tutorial on SSO using JOSSO or CAS server. I tried to find some online but there is lack of explanation so could able to implement SSO in my project.
I have two different Spring base Web Projects ,deployed as two different war files. Now I want to single sign-on for user to use both the application. I am using Tomcat as web server.
i looking a tutorial like you, have you found one ?
https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/4.2.2.RELEASE/reference/html/cas.html
Yes, it’s really helpful! Thanks, good tutorial.
Hi
What do you suggest to use for controlling the method access and also the data access. If you were to do it how would you do it. The way spring supports roles seem to be static. What if somebody wants dynamically creates a new roles and and how do you control the access on those methods. Obviously we can not use annotations as we do not know the new role upfront what an admin would create. Is there a way I can achieve like this user/role can read but it can read only his data.
Hi, always nice to see your tutorials. However, I miss one project, how to integrate an external oauth provider with spring. All examples include using user/password. Wouldn’t it be nice with a tutorial on how to secure a web app with for example Google of Facebook (not using thier sdk but rather show how to use an external oauth server).
Thanks, Jonas
please verify the Spring Security Hello World Annotation Example link.
hi can you please provide sample application (spring+LDAP+REST)authentication user credentials by checking in LDAP and create user in LDAP and update user daetails in LDAP (these operations as services) and search users from LDAP also.
Hi MyKong
Does Spring security handles CSRF? if yes, is that only available in Spring 3.2 and above not before?
Hi MKYong,
It looks like the Hello World XML and Hello World Annotation based both link to the same location.
Until the above link is updated, here’s the Hello World Annotation page: https://mkyong.com/spring-security/spring-security-hello-world-annotation-example/
Thanks, article is updated. Too many pages, messy, now I’m developing a new “page” management system for this website, hope it will fix all navigation problem 🙂
mkyong u r genious 😛
MKyong, Thank you so much..every article is very useful to me. Can you please provide sample example for Spring security integration with LDAP using annotations.
i tried ur project but its not working and showing errors in jar file.. i tried all versions of jar please help me….
I implemented token based security with remember-me turned on. I can see the tokens stored in the db upon successful login. When I log out, these tokens are deleted. I also looked in the spring source code. In the PersistenTokenBasedRememberMeServices class there is a fuction logout() which does simply this. If the Authentication object passed in is not null it deletes the tokens from the db. Does this not sort of defeat the purpose of remember-me? I mean the only way this will bypass login is if you exit your browser or the app crashes before logging out.
Hi Mkyong,
Good tutorial, will you please do me a fovor? I need some application for doing SSO(Single Sign On) Using Spring Security. Please provide me sequence of steps to follow to develop this applicatio or sample application code.
