Log username/password for 401 authentication error spring boot

Question

I want to log username and password for a given authenticated web service.

I have my WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter configured as following:

@Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/webservice/path").fullyAuthenticated().and().
        httpBasic().and().
        csrf().disable();
    }

what I want is to get http request and log the user name and password like in this example

so what I want is how do I get the http request for my web service in spring boot and log the credentials regardless if user and pass are correct or not.

Consider adding a LoggingFilter in your application.

@Bean
public FilterRegistrationBean loggingFilterRegistration() {

    FilterRegistrationBean loggingBean = new FilterRegistrationBean();
    loggingBean.setFilter(loggingFilter());
    loggingBean.addUrlPatterns("/login");
    loggingBean.setName("loggingFilter");
    return registration;
} 

@Bean
public Filter loggingFilter() {
    return new GenericFilterBean {
       @Override
       public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) {
              if("POST".equalsIgnoreCase(request.getMethod())){
              // Implement Logging logic here
              }
      }
   }
}
