Getting Started

Spring Boot Security

This is an example of Spring Boot Security using in-memory configuration for

• authentication
• authorization

There are two users as follows:

• "user" with a password of "user"
• "admin" with a password of "admin"

The password for "user" is hashed using bcrypt-generator.com and hard coded into WebSecurityConfiguration.kt The password for "admin" is hashed using BcryptPasswordEncoder().

Access to pages is as follows:

• "user" has access to /user
• "admin" has access to /admin
• /all is accessible to authenticated users - "user" and "admin"
• / is accessible without authentication

To try it out:

• access http://localhost:8080/user and login as "user"/"user"
• logout at http://localhost:8080/logout
• access http://localhost:8080/admin and login as "admin"/"admin"
• access http://localhost:8080/all as either "user" or "admin"
