Java Spring Security config - multiple authenticat

Question

There are several references of multiple authentication providers in spring security, but no example in Java config could be located.

The following link gives the XML notation: Multiple Authentication Providers in Spring Security

We need to authenticate using LDAP or DB

Below is our sample code:

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class XSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Autowired
    private AuthenticationProvider authenticationProvider;

    @Autowired
    private AuthenticationProvider authenticationProviderDB;


    @Override
    @Order(1)

    protected void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
        auth.authenticationProvider(authenticationProvider);
    }


    @Order(2)
    protected void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
        auth.authenticationProvider(authenticationProviderDB);
    }

    @Override
      public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
        web
          .ignoring()
             .antMatchers("/scripts/**","/styles/**","/images/**","/error/**");
      }
    ______

    @Override
    @Order(1)
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.csrf().disable()
        .authorizeRequests()
            .antMatchers("/","/logout","/time").permitAll()
                    .antMatchers("/admin").hasRole("ADMIN")         
                        .anyRequest().authenticated()
            .and()
        .formLogin()
            .loginPage("/index")
            .loginProcessingUrl("/perform_login")
            .usernameParameter("email")
            .passwordParameter("password")
            .failureUrl("/index?failed=true")
            .defaultSuccessUrl("/summary",true)
            .permitAll()
            .and()
         .logout().logoutUrl("/logout")
                  .logoutSuccessUrl("/index?logout=true").permitAll()
            .and()
            .exceptionHandling().accessDeniedPage("/error403")
        .and().authenticationProvider(authenticationProvider);

    }

    @Order(1)
    protected void configureDB(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.csrf().disable()
        .authorizeRequests()
            .antMatchers("/","/logout").permitAll()
            .anyRequest().authenticated()
            .and()
        .formLogin()
            .loginPage("/index")
            .loginProcessingUrl("/perform_login")
            .usernameParameter("email")
            .passwordParameter("password")
            .failureUrl("/index?failed=true")
            .defaultSuccessUrl("/summary",true)
            .permitAll()
            .authenticationProvider(authenticationProviderDB)
    //This line giving compilation error stating authenticationProvider is not available in formloginconfigurer

         .and()
         .logout().logoutUrl("/logout")
                  .logoutSuccessUrl("/index?logout=true").permitAll()
            .and()
            .exceptionHandling().accessDeniedPage("/error403");
    }

}

Answer 1

This is a successful configuration which helps configure multiple authentication providers in java config. Thanks a lot ojus for your inputs. It did help in nailing down the issue. The key is to have

@Autowired
public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
    auth.authenticationProvider(authenticationProvider);
    auth.authenticationProvider(authenticationProviderDB);

}

Full code below

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class XSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Autowired
    private LDAPAuthenticationProvider authenticationProvider;

    @Autowired
    private DBAuthenticationProvider authenticationProviderDB;

    @Override
      public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
        web
          .ignoring()
             .antMatchers("/scripts/**","/styles/**","/images/**","/error/**");
      }

    @Autowired
    public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
        auth.authenticationProvider(authenticationProvider);
        auth.authenticationProvider(authenticationProviderDB);

    }


    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.csrf().disable()
        .authorizeRequests()
            .antMatchers("/","/logout").permitAll()
            .antMatchers("/admin").hasRole("ADMIN")         
            .anyRequest().authenticated()
            .and()
        .formLogin()
            .loginPage("/index")
            .loginProcessingUrl("/perform_login")
            .usernameParameter("user")
            .passwordParameter("password")
            .failureUrl("/index?failed=true")
            .defaultSuccessUrl("/test",true)
            .permitAll()
            .and()
         .logout().logoutUrl("/logout")
                  .logoutSuccessUrl("/index?logout=true").permitAll()
            .and()
            .exceptionHandling().accessDeniedPage("/error");
    }


}

Answer 2

In Spring Boot this worked for me:

Each Authentication provider is tested in order. If one passes, then its following Authentication providers are skipped

auth.userDetailsService(userDetailsService)...

then:

auth.ldapAuthentication()....

@EnableRedisHttpSession
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvcSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

@Autowired
private CustomUserDetailsService userDetailsService;

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

    //each Authentication provider is tested in order
    //if one passes then its following Authentication providers are skipped

    //DataBase Authentication
    auth.userDetailsService(userDetailsService).passwordEncoder(passwordencoder());



    LdapContextSource ldapContextSource = new LdapContextSource();


    ldapContextSource.setUrl("ldap://192.168.XXX.XXX:389");
    ldapContextSource.setBase("dc=companyname,dc=com");
    ldapContextSource.setUserDn("cn=user,cn=testgroup,ou=Test,dc=companyname,dc=com");
    ldapContextSource.setPassword("user1234");
    ldapContextSource.afterPropertiesSet();



    //LDAP Authentication
    auth.ldapAuthentication()
        //The {0} in the (uid={0}) will be replaced by the username entered in the form.
        .userSearchBase("ou=Group")
        .userSearchFilter("uid={0}")

        //.userDnPatterns("uid={0},ou=people")//does the same thing 

        //Specifies where the search for Roles start
        //.groupSearchBase("ou=mathematicians")
        //in groups we search for member
        //.groupSearchFilter("member={0}")
        //.contextSource().ldif("classpath:test-server.ldif");

    .contextSource(ldapContextSource);



}

@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {

    http.authorizeRequests()


            .antMatchers("/hello").access("hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')")
            .antMatchers("/index").fullyAuthenticated()
            .antMatchers("/").fullyAuthenticated()
            .antMatchers("/home").fullyAuthenticated()
            .anyRequest().permitAll()

            .and()
            .formLogin()
                .loginPage("/login")
                .permitAll()
                .usernameParameter("username").passwordParameter("password")
            .and()
            .logout()
                .logoutSuccessUrl("/login?logout")
                .permitAll()
            .and()
                .exceptionHandling()
                .accessDeniedPage("/403")
            .and()
                .csrf()
                .disable();



}

@Bean(name = "passwordEncoder")
public PasswordEncoder passwordencoder() {
    return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
}
}

May be this will help you :-

@Configuration

@Profile("container")
public class XSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

@Autowired
private AuthenticationProvider authenticationProvider;

@Autowired

}
