spring-security

Simple SpringBoot security demo

Really simple spring security demo. Reference tokens (cookie JSESSIONID) are used for client session tracking. This demo application has following REST end-points:

• security - login / logout - provides JSESSIONID cookie, force invalidate client's session.
• protected data - accessible only after login for clients with valid JSESSIONID cookie.
• public data - accessible to any client, no login (no JSESSIONID cookie) required.

Public data is accessible without login. Protected data is accessible only after login. Session timeout is set to 5 minutes. After login, each request must use same cookie JSESSIONID, because server is tracking http sessions by this cookie.

• Authentication is handled by internal service itx.examples.springboot.security.springsecurity.services.UserAccessService
• Authorization is handled by Spring's Method Security, RBAC model is used.

Users, Passwords and Roles

• joe / secret, ROLE_USER
• jane / secret, ROLE_USER, ROLE_ADMIN
• alice / secret, ROLE_PUBLIC

Security - Login

Client presents itself with username / password credentials. After credentials match, server produces JSESSIONID for session tracking.

• POST http://localhost:8888/services/security/login

  {
    "userName": "joe",
    "password": "secret"
  }
  

Security - Logout

This action revokes client's http session and related JSESSIONID cookie.

• GET http://localhost:8888/services/security/logout

Get protected data

GET protected data for different user roles:

• GET http://localhost:8888/services/data/users/all (ROLE_USER, ROLE_ADMIN)
• GET http://localhost:8888/services/data/admins/all (ROLE_ADMIN)

Get public data

• GET http://localhost:8888/services/public/data/all (all roles, ROLE_PUBLIC, or no login required)
