Authenticate user within Spring Boot + Vaadin application

I am building a Spring Boot application with Vaadin as front end. The application uses a third party library to authenticate the user with his identity card via SAML. After this authentication the user is redirected back to my service and I can fetch the authentication result and optional attributes.

My question is, how can I implement the protection of specific Vaadin views within my application based on the authentication via the user's ID card and how do I set the user as authenticated appropriately?

I am new to Spring Security and the majority of its examples shows authentication via a login form with username and password which does not fit in this case.

You can find two approaches to secure your Spring Vaadin Application with either filter based (so only Spring Security) security, or a hybrid approach in this Github repository: https://github.com/peholmst/SpringSecurityDemo

You can also find blogposts about both approaches here:

Filter Based Security

Hybrid Approach

For you especially the Filter based approach could be interesting. You could implement a Filter checking the token (or whatever) you get from your login server and then allow/deny certain pages on your server for certain roles.
