Spring Boot and Security

Spring Security is enabled by the following Spring Boot starter dependency:

dependencies {

    implementation('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-security')
}

Spring Boot autoconfiguration will detect that Spring Security artifacts are in the class path and for a web application, basic security will be enabled:

• All HTTP request paths require authentication.
• No specific roles or authorities are required.
