Get user that runs an asynchronous method

Question

I\'m trying to get the user from spring context in an application spring as follows:

Authentication auth = SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthenticati         


        

Answer 1

Spring support for sending asynchronous requests with propagated SecurityContext. From a programming model perspective, the new capabilities appear deceptively simple. You can access to user info in async methods by setting security content strategy name in your security configurer class:

@Configuration
@EnableAsync
public class SpringAsyncConfig implements AsyncConfigurer {

    public SpringAsyncConfig() {
        SecurityContextHolder.setStrategyName(SecurityContextHolder.MODE_INHERITABLETHREADLOCAL);
    }

}
