Unable to create a Secure Connection with JDBC authentication in spring boot

Question

I have been having issues with connecting my Spring Application with auth.jdbcAuthentication() and consistently getting exceptions. I am able to write to the database and grab info from the database, however, I seem to have issues once I've implemented a way to authenticate against it.

I've read through several different sources and fail to get it to work. I was able to authenticate via the auth.inMemoryAuthentication() .

Below is my code:

import javax.sql.DataSource;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Qualifier;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.authentication.builders.AuthenticationManagerBuilder;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;
import org.springframework.security.config.http.SessionCreationPolicy;
import org.springframework.security.crypto.bcrypt.BCryptPasswordEncoder;
import org.springframework.security.crypto.password.PasswordEncoder;

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity(debug=true)
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Autowired
    @Qualifier("dataSource")
    private DataSource dataSource;

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.cors()
        .and()
        .csrf().disable()
        .sessionManagement().sessionCreationPolicy(SessionCreationPolicy.STATELESS)
        .and()
        .authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/member/add").permitAll()
        .and()
        .authorizeRequests().anyRequest()
        .authenticated()
        .and()
        .httpBasic();
    }

    @Autowired
    public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {

        auth
        .jdbcAuthentication()
        .dataSource(dataSource)
        .usersByUsernameQuery("select email, password, is_active from member where email = ?")
        .authoritiesByUsernameQuery("select email, 'ROLE_ADMIN' as `authority` from member where email=?")
//      .passwordEncoder(passwordEncoder())
        ;
    }
}

And my datasource is defined here as :

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource;

@Configuration
public class DatasourceConfig {

    @Bean(name = "dataSource")
    public DriverManagerDataSource dataSource() {
        DriverManagerDataSource driverManagerDataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource();
        driverManagerDataSource.setDriverClassName("com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver");
        driverManagerDataSource.setUrl("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/datastore?serverTimezone=UTC");
        driverManagerDataSource.setUsername("root");
        driverManagerDataSource.setPassword("password");
        return driverManagerDataSource;
    }
}

I created the "/member/add" path with permitAll() so that I may register a user before trying to authenticate. However, I get an exception with the following stack trace:

After much frustration, I have even changed the sql Query in order to ensure I always authenticate (my returning a matching username and password) and yet I still get a 401 response.

    @Autowired
    public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {

        auth
        .jdbcAuthentication()
        .dataSource(dataSource)
        .usersByUsernameQuery("select 'user' as username, 'password', 1 as enabled from organization limit 1")
        .authoritiesByUsernameQuery("select 'user' as username, 'ROLE_ADMIN' as `authority` from organization limit 1")
        ;
    }
}

And this still fails the authentication (I know the organization table is populated). This issue of why the permitAll() is failing doesn't make sense to me and why I am getting a 401.

NOTE: I removed using a password encoder in order to make this easier

Answer 1

So it turns out that I was missing two items. As @dur pointed out, I was missing .httpBasic() .

Once I added that, I found an answer here that stated here that in order to permit urls, I would need to do the following:

public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
    web
        .ignoring()
        .antMatchers("/member/all");
}

Once I added that, everything worked fine. Thanks to @dur for pointing out I was missing httpBasic()
