I have two different configuration of spring security, one for local development and the other per test and production server. They are quite different but need to share the "intercept-url" part.
Consither this:
<security:http ... >
<security:http-basic />
<security:anonymous />
<security:intercept-url ... />
<security:intercept-url ... />
...
</security:http>
I need to share the list of the intercept-url tags between two different http tags.
Is there a way to do this?
That's not something you can easily do with the namespace.
If you are just defining access constraints, one possibility might be to define an external filter-security-metadata-source and write a BeanPostProcessor to inject it into the FilterSecurityInterceptor.
However, it's probably not worth the trouble for something like this.
Another option would be to externalize the authentication filters you want to use as beans (use the custom-filter element to add them to the <http> configuration) and configure them separately depending on your environment. It would be easier to suggest how feasible that is if you could post both configurations explicitly to see how much overlap there is.

We have got path based vulnerability issues in Qualys report. I have gone through stackoverflow questions like this one and configured useDefaultSuffixPattern as false as shown below.
I am still able to load the page with /about.anything even though in controller I have given as #RequestMapping(value = "/about")
Is there any other configuration we need to update to stop this from happening?
<bean
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping">
<property name="order" value="0" />
<!-- Set whether to register paths using the default suffix pattern as
well: i.e. whether "/users" should be registered as "/users.*" and "/users/"
too. Default is "true". Turn this convention off if you intend to interpret
your #RequestMapping paths strictly. Note that paths which include a ".xxx"
suffix or end with "/" already will not be transformed using the default
suffix pattern in any case. -->
<property name="useDefaultSuffixPattern" value="false" />
<property name="pathMatcher" ref="pathMatcher" />
</bean>

This might be happening because of an inherent bug in Spring where it ignores everything after the dot(.) in the URL.
To resolve this you must create the path variable pattern for GET call in your controller more rigid.
I am trying to filter URLs using spring security. Following is a definition for filtering:
<intercept-url pattern="/page" access="#{new java.io.File('file_path').exists()}"/>
The URL is restricted based on existence of a file called file_path.
If the file_path exists at the time the spring configuration file is loaded, the access is provided. If the file_path is created after load, access is not provided. I would like the expression to be evaluated every time the request to /page is made & not just during compilation of the expression.
Tried to set the system property -Dspring.expression.compiler.mode=MIXED but there is no effect.
Can anybody please help me in this?
That's correct because you use the configuration time expression (#{...}). To achieve the requirements you should use something like this:
<http use-expressions="true">
<intercept-url pattern="/admin*"
access="hasRole('admin') and hasIpAddress('192.168.1.0/24')"/>
</http>
See Expression-Based Access Control. So, in your case it can be like this:
<http use-expressions="true">
<intercept-url pattern="/page" access="new java.io.File('file_path').exists()"/>
</http>
I have one application running on tomcat sever.I removed the path in in server.xml so i am able to access the application like
http://localhost:8080/login.xhtml
I am using Pretty faces as well for URL rewrite.
Now i want to know how to send a request to server like
http://localhost:8080
so that it should display my login page.
My pretty-config.xml is
<url-mapping id="login">
<pattern value="/" />
<view-id value="/login.xhtml" />
</url-mapping>
it is not working.please let me know the solution.
Your pretty-config part (which is valid) tells that a path / should be mapped to /login.xhtml and may be referred to as pretty:login in outcomes of JSF components (as well as in action methods).
From here there are two possible options for inconsistencies:
Prettyfaces must be pointed to a valid URL, meaning that FacesServlet mapping in web.xml should be *.xhtml in your case, not faces/*, not *.jsf, etc.
Prettyfaces should be used appropriately in your JSF components. For instance, <h:link outcome="pretty:login" value="Home" /> will render an HTML a element with the value / (which will internally show login.xhtml when you click on it).
Also, it would be helpful to read the excellent PrettyFaces documentation.
I use spring security for user authentication. In security.xml I have
<form-login login-page="/login"
default-target-url="/dashboard"
always-use-default-target="false"
authentication-failure-url="/login/error"
login-processing-url="/j_security_check"/>
I want to be able to configure different target urls for different user roles. How do i do this?
Thanks!
If you're using Spring-Security 3.0 or higher implementing your own AuthenticationSuccessHandler is the way to go:
<sec:form-login ... authentication-success-handler-ref="successHandler"/>
...
<bean id="successHandler" class="de.....MySpecialAuthenticationSuccessHandler">
Then MySpecialAuthenticationSuccessHandler can extend one of the default handlers like SavedRequestAwareAuthenticationSuccessHandler though they are not really inheritance-friendly.

http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?t=93541
I don't think you can configure this, but your default-target-url dashboard can contain logic to redirect to appropriate page based on the role.
Is it possible to mention both form-based and basic authentication in Spring security using namespace configuration without overriding other ? So that the appliciation could serve both browser based request and remoting client.
The response by #grimesjm is right. However, if you are using Spring 3.x you have to adapt the class names to:
<bean id="basicProcessingFilter" class="org.springframework.security.web.authentication.www.BasicAuthenticationFilter">
<property name="authenticationManager">
<ref bean="authenticationManager" />
</property>
<property name="authenticationEntryPoint">
<ref bean="authenticationEntryPoint" />
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="authenticationEntryPoint"
class="org.springframework.security.web.authentication.www.BasicAuthenticationEntryPoint">
<property name="realmName" value="Your realm here" />
</bean>
And
<sec:http auto-config="true">
... your intercept-url here
<sec:custom-filter before="SECURITY_CONTEXT_FILTER" ref="basicProcessingFilter" />
<sec:form-login ... />
....
</sec:http>
I do not know whether placing the filter before SECURITY_CONTEXT_FILTER is the best option or not.
The end result you want is possible, I have ran into that exact same problem and here is my solution.
Anytime when defining form-login in the namespace it will override automatically any other authentication filters you apply via namespace. This is done through the ordering of the filter chain look at FilterChainOrder.java in the spring security to see how the order is actually applied to each filter.
To get around this remove the http-basic tag from the namespace then manually define the bean to handle basic authentication and place its order before the AuthenticationProcessingFilter because this is the spring security filter that will handle the form-login.
The BasicProcessingFilter spring provides to handle Basic authentication is a passive filter, meaning that if the credentials are missing it will continue down the filter chain until it finds the appropriate filter to handle the request.
Now by manually defining the BasicProcessingFilter bean we can set the order that it will appear in the filter chain.
Below is an example of the additional xml declarations you will need to supply in the security xml (Spring Security < 3.x)
<bean id="basicProcessingFilter" class="org.springframework.security.ui.basicauth.BasicProcessingFilter">
<property name="authenticationManager"><ref bean="authenticationManager"/></property>
<security:custom-filter before="AUTHENTICATION_PROCESSING_FILTER"/>
<property name="authenticationEntryPoint"><ref bean="authenticationEntryPoint"/></property>
</bean>
<bean id="authenticationEntryPoint"
class="org.springframework.security.ui.basicauth.BasicProcessingFilterEntryPoint">
<property name="realmName" value="My Realm Here"/>
</bean>
Also note if your authenticationManager reference isn't found you can add an alias to your namespace like the one below.
<security:authentication-manager alias="authenticationManager"/>
The end result is the basic filter will be applied as a passive filter and if its required credentials are missing it will continue down the filter chain and the form-login filter will then handle it.
The problem with this approach is that if credentials are correctly entered, the response back is the login page from the form-login filter.
However, It appears that this problem will be fixed by spring in version 3.1 of spring security and this work around will no longer be needed.
It is now possible with Spring Security 3.1.0
It seems that it is not possible to declare both form and basic authentication using namespace configuration.
