I'm setting up Spring Security in my project and I'm having some trouble hitting one of my rest endpoints. I receive an "Error: Forbidden" response from the server when I hit the endpoint through my client.
What I'm doing is going to the login page (I assume at this point I'm an anonymous user with ROLE_ANONYMOUS) and clicking a tab that shows me a create new account form.
When I fill out the fields and hit submit then the rest endpoint is called and the JSON data is sent to the server. In my security configuration I have posted below the endpoint url I'm using, /createUserAccount/submit, is set to work with the ROLE_ANONYMOUS and ROLE_ADMIN roles in the filterSecurityInterceptor bean xml.
Since I'm an anonymous user on the login page I thought that hitting that endpoint would work, but it's not. All the files relevant to my problem are below.
Here's my controller:
@Controller
@RequestMapping("/createUserAccount")
@SessionAttributes("userAccount")
public class CreateUserAccountController {
private final String loginViewName = "login";
private CreateUserAccountValidator validator;
private UserAccountManager userAccountManager;
@Autowired
public CreateUserAccountController(
@Qualifier("createUserAccountValidator") CreateUserAccountValidator validator,
@Qualifier("userAccountManager") UserAccountManager userAccountManager) {
this.validator = validator;
this.userAccountManager = userAccountManager;
}
@RequestMapping(value="/submit", method = RequestMethod.POST)
@ResponseBody
public GenericJsonDTO submitForm(@RequestBody UserAccount userAccount, BindingResult result, SessionStatus status){
JsonFactory jsonFactory = new JsonFactory(result, "/gravytrack/dashboard");
validator.validate(userAccount, result);
if(!result.hasErrors()) {
userAccountManager.createUserAccount(userAccount);
status.setComplete();
}
return jsonFactory.getDto();
}
}
I have my server setup so I can debug during runtime, I put a breakpoint on the line
JsonFactory jsonFactory = new JsonFactory(result, "/gravytrack/dashboard");
to see if the function is ever entered when the /createUserAccount/submit endpoint is called. The function is never entered.
Below is my security configuration. I've been starting to incorporate ACL security so the configuration file is pretty long. I think the problem is in either the http element or filterSecurityInterceptor bean configuration xml. The filterSecurityInterceptor XML is where my URI permissions are defined.
