Spring Security remember-me authentication from ht

问题:

I'm using Spring Security 3.0.5 for authentication and I'm using remember-me as well. Currently, the login page is a https page and the page that I redirect to afte successfully authentication is a http page. I use to have everything under https, but we have a few things on our site which wont operate under https in IE8, so I thought I would try this route. The below debug log seems to indicate that the cookie can't be written from https to http, is there a way to accomplish this?

Debug Trace:

回答1:

It is possible by changing the cookie with a filter, I have answered this question here

回答2:

From a security point of view, it is the correct behavior, because a attacker could steal the session id/cooki used in https if the same session id/cooki is used in http too.

So there the one of the fundamental rules, to create a new session if the uses switches from http to https. So if you have a https session, use it in http and then in https again would break this rule. -- So it is a feature of Spring Security, not a Bug.

Anyway, this simplest solution woud be, making the http resources aviable under https too. So you do not need to switch back to http after the user is logged in (https).
