  • spring-web-4.1.4.RELEASE.jar
  • spring-webmvc-4.1.4.RELEASE.jar
STEP 4:- Create Spring security configuration file.
  • Package: com.tutorialsdesk.config
  • Filename: SecurityConfig.java
package com.tutorialsdesk.config;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import
org.springframework.security.config.annotation.authentication.builders.AuthenticationManagerBuilder;
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;

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
 
 @Autowired
 public void init(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
 auth.ldapAuthentication()
 .userSearchFilter("(uid={0})")
 .userSearchBase("ou=users")
 .groupSearchFilter("(uniqueMember={0})")
 .groupSearchBase("ou=groups")
 .groupRoleAttribute("cn")
 .rolePrefix("ROLE_")
 .contextSource().ldif("/WEB-INF/conf/users.ldif").root("o=tutorialsdesk");
 }

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

 http.authorizeRequests()
 .antMatchers("/").permitAll()
 .antMatchers("/home").permitAll()
 .antMatchers("/admin/**").access("hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')")
 .antMatchers("/api/**").access("hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN') or
hasRole('ROLE_API')")
 .and().formLogin()
 .and().exceptionHandling().accessDeniedPage("/Access_Denied");
 
 }
 
}

STEP 5:- Create a class extends AbstractSecurityWebApplicationInitializer, it will load the springSecurityFilterChain automatically.
  • Package: com.tutorialsdesk.config.core
  • Filename: SpringSecurityInitializer.java
package com.tutorialsdesk.config.core;

import
org.springframework.security.web.context.AbstractSecurityWebApplicationInitializer;

public class SpringSecurityInitializer extends
 AbstractSecurityWebApplicationInitializer {

}
STEP 6:- Create Spring MVC configuration file. A Config class, define the view’s technology and imports above SecurityConfig.java.
  • Package: com.tutorialsdesk.config
  • Filename: AppConfig.java
package com.tutorialsdesk.config;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Import;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView;

@EnableWebMvc
@Configuration
@ComponentScan({ "com.tutorialsdesk.controller" })
@Import({ SecurityConfig.class })
public class AppConfig {

 @Bean
 public InternalResourceViewResolver viewResolver() {
 InternalResourceViewResolver viewResolver 
 = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
 viewResolver.setViewClass(JstlView.class);
 viewResolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/views/");
 viewResolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
 return viewResolver;
 }
}

STEP 7:- Create a Sevlet Initializer class, to load everything.
  • Package: com.tutorialsdesk.config.core
  • Filename: SpringMvcInitializer.java
package com.tutorialsdesk.config.core;

import
org.springframework.web.servlet.support.AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer;

import com.tutorialsdesk.config.AppConfig;

public class SpringMvcInitializer extends
 AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer {

 @Override
 protected Class<?>[] getRootConfigClasses() {
 
 return new Class[] { AppConfig.class };
 }

 @Override
 protected Class<?>[] getServletConfigClasses() {
 
 return null;
 }

 @Override
 protected String[] getServletMappings() {
 
 return new String[] { "/" };
 }

}

STEP 8 :- Create Controller Class.
  • Package: com.tutorialsdesk.controller
  • Filename: IndexController.java
package com.tutorialsdesk.controller;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import org.springframework.security.core.Authentication;
import org.springframework.security.core.context.SecurityContextHolder;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetails;
import
org.springframework.security.web.authentication.logout.SecurityContextLogoutHandler;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.ModelMap;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
import org.springframework.security.ldap.userdetails.DefaultLdapAuthoritiesPopulator;

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/")
public class IndexController {

 @RequestMapping(value = { "/", "/login" }, method =
RequestMethod.GET)
 public String loginPage(ModelMap model, @RequestParam(value = "error",
required = false) String error) {
 
 if (error != null) {
 model.addAttribute("error", "Invalid username and password!");
 }
 return "login";
 }
 
 @RequestMapping(value = { "/home" }, method = RequestMethod.GET)
 public String homePage(ModelMap model) {
 model.addAttribute("greeting", "Hi, Welcome to mysite. ");
 return "welcome";
 }
 
 @RequestMapping(value = "/admin", method = RequestMethod.GET)
 public String adminPage(ModelMap model) {
 model.addAttribute("user", getPrincipal());
 return "admin";
 }
 
 @RequestMapping(value = "/api", method = RequestMethod.GET)
 public String dbaPage(ModelMap model) {
 model.addAttribute("user", getPrincipal());
 return "api";
 }
 
 @RequestMapping(value="/logout", method = RequestMethod.GET)
 public String logoutPage (ModelMap model,HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) {
 Authentication auth = SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication();
 if (auth != null){ 
 new SecurityContextLogoutHandler().logout(request, response, auth);
 }
 model.addAttribute("msg", "You've been logged out
successfully.");
 return "login";
 }
 
 @RequestMapping(value = "/Access_Denied", method = RequestMethod.GET)
 public String accessDeniedPage(ModelMap model) {
 model.addAttribute("user", getPrincipal());
 return "accessDenied";
 }
 
 private String getPrincipal(){
 String userName = null;
 Object principal =
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getPrincipal();
 
 System.out.println("HelloWorldController.getPrincipal()" +
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getAuthorities().size());
 
 System.out.println("HelloWorldController.getPrincipal()" +
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getAuthorities().toString());
 
 if (principal instanceof UserDetails) {
 userName = ((UserDetails)principal).getUsername();
 } else {
 userName = principal.toString();
 }
 return userName;
 }
}

STEP 9 :- Create a LDIF file in /WebContent/WEB-INF/conf/users.ldif file as below :-
