Spring Security using HTTP headers

Question

I am trying to add security to my Spring Boot application. My current application is using REST controllers and every time I get a GET or POST request

Answer 1

In memory authentication would serve your purpose

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Override
    protected void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
        auth.inMemoryAuthentication()
        .withUser("user1").password("password1").roles("USER")
        .and()
        .withUser("user2").password("password2").roles("ADMIN");
    }

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

}
