Spring Security

Getting Started with Spring Security

In this chapter, we'll apply a minimal Spring Security configuration to start addressing our first finding—inadvertent privilege escalation due to a lack of 
URL protection, and general authentication from the security audit discussed in Chapter 1, Anatomy of an Unsafe Application. We will then build on the basic configuration to provide a customized experience for our users. This chapter is intended to get you up and running with Spring Security and to provide a foundation for any other security-related tasks you will need to perform.

During the course of this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Implementing a basic level of security on the JBCP calendar application, using the automatic configuration option in Spring Security
  • Learning how to customize both the login and logout experience
  • Configuring Spring Security...

Hello Spring Security

Although Spring Security can be extremely difficult to configure, the creators of the product have been thoughtful and have provided us with a very simple mechanism to enable much of the software's functionality with a strong baseline. From this baseline, additional configuration will allow for a fine level of detailed control over the security behavior of the application.

We'll start with our unsecured calendar application from Chapter 1, Anatomy of an Unsafe Application, and turn it into a site that's secured with a rudimentary username and password authentication. This authentication serves merely to illustrate the steps involved in enabling Spring Security for our web application; you'll see that there are some obvious flaws in this approach that will lead us to make further configuration refinements.

...

A little bit of polish

Stop at this point and think about what we've just built. You may have noticed some obvious issues that will require some additional work and knowledge of the Spring Security product before our application is production-ready. Try to make a list of the changes that you think are required before this security implementation is ready to roll out on the public-facing website.

Applying the Hello World Spring Security implementation was blindingly fast and has provided us with a login page, username, and password-based authentication, as well as the automatic interception of URLs in our calendar application. However, there are gaps between what the automatic configuration setup provides and what our end goal is, which are listed as follows:

  • While the login page is helpful, it's completely generic and doesn't look like the rest of our JBCP calendar...

Summary

In this chapter, we have applied a very basic Spring Security configuration, explained how to customize the user's login and logout experience, and demonstrated how to display basic information, such as a username, in our web application.

In the next chapter, we will discuss how authentication in Spring Security works and how we can customize it to our needs.

Key benefits

  • Architect solutions that leverage the power of Spring Security while being loosely coupled
  • Implement existing user stores, user sign up, authentication, and supporting AJAX requests
  • Integrate with popular Cloud services such as Zookeeper, Eureka, and Consul, along with advanced techniques, including OAuth, JSON Web Token's (JWS), Hashing, and encryption algorithms

Description

Knowing that experienced hackers are itching to test your skills makes security one of the most difficult and high-pressured concerns of creating an application. The complexity of properly securing an application is compounded when you must also integrate this factor with existing code, new technologies, and other frameworks. Use this book to easily secure your Java application with the tried and trusted Spring Security framework, a powerful and highly customizable authentication and access-control framework. The book starts by integrating a variety of authentication mechanisms. It then demonstrates how to properly restrict access to your application. It also covers tips on integrating with some of the more popular web frameworks. An example of how Spring Security defends against session fixation, moves into concurrency control, and how you can utilize session management for administrative functions is also included. It concludes with advanced security scenarios for RESTful webservices and microservices, detailing the issues surrounding stateless authentication, and demonstrates a concise, step-by-step approach to solving those issues. And, by the end of the book, readers can rest assured that integrating version 4.2 of Spring Security will be a seamless endeavor from start to finish.

Who is this book for?

This book is intended for Java Web and/or RESTful webservice developers and assumes a basic understanding of creating Java 8, Java Web and/or RESTful webservice applications, XML, and the Spring Framework. You are not expected to have any previous experience with Spring Security.

What you will learn

  • Understand common security vulnerabilities and how to resolve them
  • Perform initial penetration testing to uncover common security vulnerabilities
  • Utilize existing corporate infrastructure such as LDAP, Active Directory, Kerberos, OpenID, and OAuth
  • Integrate with popular frameworks such as Spring, Spring-Boot, Spring-Data, jQuery, and AngularJS
  • Deep understanding of the security challenges with RESTful webservices and microservice architectures
  • Integrate Spring with other security infrastructure components like LDAP, Apache Directory server and SAML

This book has a nice introduction. The code can be compiled with maven after some small modifications and googling. The knowledge can be transformed to the Spring Security 5.*

Es un buen libro, llega al fondo de los asuntos de Spring Security y ese puede ser su punto débil. Terminas de leerlo, analizándolo un poco y notas que se te escapa una visión global de Security, y que después de todo, en la práctica, no hacía falta llegar tan al detalle de las configuraciones posibles y de las tripas de security y lo que realmente vale no queda del todo claro. Pero es una obra de calidad

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
