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.
  • There is only one user, with the user name of user. The password is generated and displayed in the boot logs:
Using generated security password: a18ff68c-bdc1-4990-933e-6bdf896e2b72
