Spring Security : Multiple HTTP Config not working

Question

I am trying to use Spring Security and I have a use case where I want different login pages and different set of URLs to be secured.

Here is my configuration:

@Configuration
@Order(1)
public static class ProviderSecurity extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter{
    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http
            .authorizeRequests()
                .antMatchers("/", "/home").permitAll()
                .antMatchers("/admin/login").permitAll()
                .antMatchers("/admin/**").access("hasRole('BASE_USER')")
                .and()
            .formLogin()
                .loginPage("/admin/login").permitAll()
                .defaultSuccessUrl("/admin/home")
                .failureUrl("/admin/login?error=true").permitAll()
                .usernameParameter("username")
                .passwordParameter("password")
                .and()
            .csrf()                    
                .and()
            .exceptionHandling().accessDeniedPage("/Access_Denied");            
    }
}


@Configuration
@Order(2)
public static class ConsumerSecurity extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http
            .authorizeRequests()
                .antMatchers("/consumer/login").permitAll()
                .antMatchers("/consumer/**").access("hasRole('BASE_USER')")
                .anyRequest().authenticated()
                .and()
            .formLogin()
                .loginPage("/consumer/login").permitAll()
                .defaultSuccessUrl("/consumer/home")
                .failureUrl("/consumer/login?error=true").permitAll()
                .usernameParameter("username")
                .passwordParameter("password")
                .and().csrf()                
                .and()
            .exceptionHandling().accessDeniedPage("/Access_Denied");
    }
}

These classes are inner classes of another class MultipleHttpSecurityConfig that has annotation @EnableWebSecurity .

The security for admin/** is working fine, but none of the consumer/** pages are secured, no redirection is happening for login page. I've searched for other answers but none worked.

Answer 1

Look at the Spring Security Reference :

 @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(); } } }

1 Configure Authentication as normal

2 Create an instance of WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter that contains @Order to specify which WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter should be considered first.

3 The http.antMatcher states that this HttpSecurity will only be applicable to URLs that start with /api/

4 Create another instance of WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter . If the URL does not start with /api/ this configuration will be used. This configuration is considered after ApiWebSecurityConfigurationAdapter since it has an @Order value after 1 (no @Order defaults to last).

Your second configuration is not used, because your first configuration matches /** (no antMatcher configured). And your first configuration restricts only /admin/** , all other URLs are permitted by default.

Answer 2

Your first WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter 's

http
            .authorizeRequests()

matches all the URLs, limit it to only URLs start with /admin by using antMatcher :

@Configuration
@Order(1)
public static class ProviderSecurity extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter{
    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http
            .antMatcher("/admin/**")
                .authorizeRequests()
                .antMatchers("/admin/login").permitAll()
                .antMatchers("/admin/**").access("hasRole('BASE_USER')")
                .and()

                ...
