How to turn off Spring Security in Spring Boot App

I have implemented authentication in my Spring Boot Application with Spring Security.

The main class controlling authentication should be websecurityconfig:

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
@PropertySource(value = { "classpath:/config/application.properties" })
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {


    @Autowired
    private RestAuthenticationSuccessHandler authenticationSuccessHandler;
    @Autowired
    private RestAuthenticationEntryPoint restAuthenticationEntryPoint;

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http
          .httpBasic()
            .and()
            .csrf().disable()
            .sessionManagement().sessionCreationPolicy(
                    SessionCreationPolicy.STATELESS)
            .and()
            .exceptionHandling()
            .authenticationEntryPoint(restAuthenticationEntryPoint)
            .and()
            .authorizeRequests()
                .antMatchers("/").permitAll()
                .antMatchers("/login").permitAll()
                .antMatchers("/logout").permitAll()
                .antMatchers("/ristore/**").authenticated()
                .anyRequest().authenticated()
                .and()
            .formLogin()
                .successHandler(authenticationSuccessHandler)
                .failureHandler(new SimpleUrlAuthenticationFailureHandler());
    }

Since I am doing OAuth, I have AuthServerConfig and ResourceServerConfig as well. My main application class looks like this:

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableSpringDataWebSupport
@EntityScan({"org.mdacc.ristore.fm.models"}) 
public class RistoreWebApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer
{
   @Bean
    public WebMvcConfigurer corsConfigurer() {
        return new WebMvcConfigurerAdapter() {
            @Override
            public void addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry registry) {
                registry.addMapping("/**").allowedOrigins("*");
            }
        };
    }
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        SpringApplication.run(RistoreWebApplication.class, args);
    }

    protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
         return application.sources(RistoreWebApplication.class);
     }
}

Since we are doing code consolidation, we need to turn off authentication temporarily. However, I tried the following methods and nothing seems to work. I am still getting 401 when I hit these rest api urls.

Comment out all the annotations in classes related to security including @Configuration, @EnableWebSecurity. In Spring boot Security Disable security, it was suggested at the bottom adding @EnableWebSecurity will DISABLE auth which I don't think make any sense. Tried it anyway, did not work.
Modify websecurityconfig by removing all the security stuff and only do http .authorizeRequests() .anyRequest().permitAll();

Disable Basic Authentication while using Spring Security Java configuration. Does not help either.

Remove security auto config

@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = { org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.security.SecurityAutoConfiguration.class, org.springframework.boot.actuate.autoconfigure.ManagementSecurityAutoConfiguration.class})

like what they did in disabling spring security in spring boot app. However I think this feature only works with spring-boot-actuator which I don't have. So didn't try this.

What is the correct way disable spring security?

回答1:

As @Maciej Walkowiak mentioned, you should do this for your main class:

@SpringBootApplication(exclude = org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.security.SecurityAutoConfiguration.class)
public class MainClass {

回答2:

try this

1->Comment annotation @EnableWebSecurity in your security config

//@EnableWebSecurity

2->Add these lines in your security config

spring.security.enabled=false

management.security.enabled=false

security.basic.enabled=false
