Spring boot Security Disable security

When I use security.basic.enabled=false to disable security on a Spring Boot project that has the following dependencies:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
        <artifactId>ojdbc6</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

I see the following Exception:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.boot.actuate.autoconfigure.ManagementSecurityAutoConfiguration$ManagementWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire method: public void org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter.setObjectPostProcessor(org.springframework.security.config.annotation.ObjectPostProcessor); nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [org.springframework.security.config.annotation.ObjectPostProcessor] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency. Dependency annotations: {}

In order to fix this exception I had to add the property - management.security.enabled=false . My understanding is that when the actuator is in the classpath, both security.basic.enabled=false and management.security.enabled=false should be set to disable the security.

Could someone please let me know if my understanding is wrong?

With Spring Boot 3, the configuration syntax has changed. The following did the trick for me -

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.web.SecurityFilterChain;

    @Configuration
    public class SecurityConfig {
    
        @Bean
        SecurityFilterChain filterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
            http.authorizeHttpRequests().anyRequest().permitAll();
            return http.build();
        }
    }

For a reactive webflux springboot application (in my case it is not a controller application, but a scheduler application) with out any http requests, none of the application.properties examples or exclude annotations worked. The only way worked for me is by adding a filter class.

I am using springboot 2.6.5, and have the below artifacts mainly besides some kafka and db related artifacts

pom.xml

<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-webflux</artifactId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-oauth2-client</artifactId>

application.proeprties:

I did not add spring.main.web-application-type=reactive

Filter class:

NOTE: I did not even added @EnableWebFluxSecurity OR @EnableReactiveMethodSecurity, but it is still works.

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.method.configuration.EnableReactiveMethodSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.reactive.EnableWebFluxSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.web.server.ServerHttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.web.server.SecurityWebFilterChain;

@Configuration
public class ActuatorSecurityFilter {

    @Bean
    public SecurityWebFilterChain springSecurityFilterChain(ServerHttpSecurity http) {
        return http.authorizeExchange().pathMatchers("/actuator/**").permitAll().and().build();
    }
}

Latest spring 2.7.x, create two class, set DISABLE_KEYCLOAK_AUDIT_PROPERTY = 'your key' in application profile for enable/disable security:

    public static final String DISABLE_KEYCLOAK_AUDIT_PROPERTY = "enable_security";
    @EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude =
            {org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.security.servlet.SecurityAutoConfiguration.class,
                    org.springframework.boot.actuate.autoconfigure.security.servlet.ManagementWebSecurityAutoConfiguration.class
            })
    @Configuration
    @ConditionalOnProperty(name = DISABLE_KEYCLOAK_AUDIT_PROPERTY, havingValue = "true")
    static
    class DisableSecurityConfig {
    }

    @Configuration
    @ConditionalOnProperty(name = DISABLE_KEYCLOAK_AUDIT_PROPERTY, havingValue = "false")
    @Import({KeycloakSecurityConfig.class, KeycloakConfig.class})
    static
    class EnableSecurityConfig {
    }

for example use in application.yml:

enable_security: true

In Spring Security 5.7.0-M2 WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter was deprecated. Spring Security team encourages users to move towards a component-based security configuration.

package com.may.security;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.authentication.AuthenticationManager;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.web.SecurityFilterChain;

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfig {

    @Bean
    public SecurityFilterChain securityFilterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/**").permitAll(); // config to permit all requests
        return http.build();
    }

    @Bean
    public AuthenticationManager authenticationManager() { // to delete default username and password that is printed in the log every time, you can provide here any auth manager (InMemoryAuthenticationManager, etc) as you need
        return authentication -> {
            throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
        };
    }
}

With Spring 2.6.0 this helped in my case:

@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = {
        org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.security.SecurityDataConfiguration.class
})

And additional I had to remove the dependency in the pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>
</dependency>

As of Spring Boot 2.7.3 using @EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = {}) generated an error, suggesting the exclude property be used in the @SpringBootApplication annotation.

Here is what worked for me when disabling Spring Security completely.

@SpringBootApplication(
        exclude = {
                SecurityAutoConfiguration.class,
                ManagementWebSecurityAutoConfiguration.class
        })
public class GeoServiceApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(GeoServiceApplication.class, args);
    }

}

I tried excluding only SecurityAutoConfiguration.class, but I got an error for no HttpSecurity bean defined for ManagementWebSecurityAutoConfiguration.class.

With Gradle and Spring boot v2.4.4, you can exclude spring security completely by adding this config in your build.gradle

configurations.all {
    exclude group:"org.springframework.boot", module: "spring-boot-starter-security"
}

In case you have spring-boot-actuator in your package, you should add the following

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

With older Spring-boot, the class was called ManagementSecurityAutoConfiguration.

In newer versions this has changed to

@SpringBootApplication(exclude = {
        org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.security.servlet.SecurityAutoConfiguration.class,
        org.springframework.boot.actuate.autoconfigure.security.servlet.ManagementWebSecurityAutoConfiguration.class}
        )

UPDATE

If for reactive application you are having the same issue, you can exclude the following classes

@SpringBootApplication(exclude = {ReactiveSecurityAutoConfiguration.class, ReactiveManagementWebSecurityAutoConfiguration.class })

Answer is to allow all requests in WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter as below.

you can do this in existing class or in new class.

@Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.authorizeRequests().anyRequest().permitAll();
    }

Please note : If ther is existing GlobalMethodSecurityConfiguration class, you must disable it.

If you are using @WebMvcTest annotation in your test class

@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = { SecurityAutoConfiguration.class, ManagementWebSecurityAutoConfiguration.class })
@TestPropertySource(properties = {"spring.autoconfigure.exclude=org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.security.servlet.SecurityAutoConfiguration"})

doesn't help you.

You can disable security here

@WebMvcTest(secure = false)

The easiest way for Spring Boot 2 without dependencies or code changes is just:

spring:
  autoconfigure:
    exclude: org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.security.servlet.SecurityAutoConfiguration

The only thing that worked for me:

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.csrf().disable().authorizeRequests().anyRequest().permitAll();
    }

and

security.ignored=/**

Could be that the properties part is redundant or can be done in code, but had no time to experiment. Anyway is temporary.

For Spring Boot 2 following properties are deprecated in application.yml configuration

  security.basic.enabled: false
  management.security.enabled: false

To disable security for Sprint Boot 2 Basic + Actuator Security following properties can be used in application.yml file instead of annotation based exclusion (@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = {SecurityAutoConfiguration.class, ManagementWebSecurityAutoConfiguration.class}))

  spring:
    autoconfigure:
      exclude[0]: org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.security.servlet.SecurityAutoConfiguration
      exclude[1]: org.springframework.boot.actuate.autoconfigure.security.servlet.ManagementWebSecurityAutoConfiguration

For application.properties syntax would be like

spring.autoconfigure.exclude[0]=org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.security.servlet.SecurityAutoConfiguration

As previously multiple solutions mentioned to disable security through commenting of

@EnableWebSecurity

annotation and other is through properties in application.properties or yml. But those properties are showing as deprecated in latest spring boot version.

So, I would like to share another approach to configure default username and password in your application-dev.properties or application-dev.yml and use them to login into swagger and etc in development environment.

spring.security.user.name=admin
spring.security.user.password=admin

So, this approach will also provides you some kind of security as well and you can share this information with your development team. You can also configure user roles as well, but its not required in development level.

Add following class into your code

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;

/**
 * @author vaquar khan
 */
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

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

        http.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/**").permitAll().anyRequest().authenticated().and().csrf().disable();
    }

}

And insie of application.properties add

security.ignored=/**
security.basic.enabled=false
management.security.enabled=false

I added below settings in application.yml and worked fine. 

security:
    route-patterns-to-be-skipped:
      - /**/*

this can be converted as security.route-paterns-to-be-skipped=/**/* for application.properties

You can configure to toggle spring security in your project by following below 2 steps:

STEP 1: Add a @ConditionalOnProperty annotation on top of your SecurityConfig class. Refer below:

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity (prePostEnabled = true)
@ConditionalOnProperty (name = "myproject.security.enabled", havingValue = "true", matchIfMissing = true)
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
   // your security config
}

STEP 2: Add following config to your application.properties or application.yml file.

application.properties

security.ignored=/**
myproject.security.enabled=false

OR

application.yml

security:
  ignored: /**

myproject:
  security:
    enabled: false

You need to add this entry to application.properties to bypass Springboot Default Security

spring.autoconfigure.exclude=org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.security.SecurityAutoConfiguration

Then there won't be any authentication box. otrws, credentials are:- user and 99b962fa-1848-4201-ae67-580bdeae87e9 (password randomly generated)

Note: my springBootVersion = '1.5.14.RELEASE'

For the spring boot 2 users it has to be

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

Permit access to everything using antMatchers("/")

     protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
            System.out.println("configure");
                    http.csrf().disable();
                    http.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/").permitAll();

Step 1: Comment annotation @EnableWebSecurity in your security config

//@EnableWebSecurity

Step 2: Add this to your application.properties file.

security.ignored=/**
spring.security.enabled=false
management.security.enabled=false
security.basic.enabled=false

Add the below lines to your main app.

Remove org.activiti.spring.boot.SecurityAutoConfiguration.class if you're not using activiti.

Similarly, remove the one for actuator if you're not using spring-boot-actuator. 

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

In order to avoid security you can use annotations. Use this annotation on top of configure class:

@EnableWebSecurity

For example:

@EnableWebSecurity
@Configuration
public class AuthFilter{
   // configured method 
}

What also seems to work fine is creating a file application-dev.properties that contains:

security.basic.enabled=false
management.security.enabled=false

If you then start your Spring Boot app with the dev profile, you don't need to log on.

If you need security as a dependency but don't want Spring Boot to configure it for you, you can use this exclusion:

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