I understand that a Spring Cloud Config Server can be protected using an user name and password , which has to be provided by the accessing clients.
How c
Basic authentication configuration that works for me.
Server-side:
Needed depedency: org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-security
bootstrap.yml
server:
port: 8888
spring:
cloud:
config:
server:
git:
uri: git@bitbucket.org:someRepo/repoName.git
hostKeyAlgorithm: ssh-rsa
hostKey: "general hostKey for bitbucket.org"
security:
user:
name: yourUser
password: yourPassword
Client-side:
bootstrap.yml
spring:
application:
name: config
profiles:
active: dev
cloud:
config:
uri: http://localhost:8888
username: yourUser
password: yourPassword
management:
security:
enabled: false

The very basic "basic authentication" (from here https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/configserver)
You can add HTTP Basic authentication by including an extra dependency on Spring Security (e.g. via spring-boot-starter-security). The user name is "user" and the password is printed on the console on startup (standard Spring Boot approach). If using maven (pom.xml
):
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>
</dependency>
If you want custom user/password pairs, you need indicate in server configuration file
security:
basic:
enabled: false
and add this minimal Class in your code (BasicSecurityConfiguration.java
):
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
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.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;
@Configuration
//@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity(prePostEnabled = true, securedEnabled = true)
public class BasicSecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
@Value("#{'${qa.admin.password:admin}'}") //property with default value
String admin_password;
@Value("#{'${qa.user.password:user}'}") //property with default value
String user_password;
@Autowired
public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
auth
.inMemoryAuthentication()
.withUser("user").password(user_password).roles("USER")
.and()
.withUser("admin").password(admin_password).roles("USER", "ACTUATOR");
}
@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.csrf()
.disable()
.httpBasic()
.and()
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/encrypt/**").authenticated()
.antMatchers("/decrypt/**").authenticated()
//.antMatchers("/admin/**").hasAuthority("ROLE_ACTUATOR")
//.antMatchers("/qa/**").permitAll()
;
}
}
@Value("#{'${qa.admin.password:admin}'}") allow passwords to be defined in property configuration file, environment variables or command line.
For example (application.yml
):
server:
port: 8888
security:
basic:
enabled: false
qa:
admin:
password: adminadmin
user:
password: useruser
management:
port: 8888
context-path: /admin
logging:
level:
org.springframework.cloud: 'DEBUG'
spring:
cloud:
config:
server:
git:
ignoreLocalSshSettings: true
uri: ssh://git@gitlab.server.corp/repo/configuration.git
This works for me.
Edit: Instead of the Class, you can put basic user configuration directly in application.yaml
:
security:
basic:
enabled: true
path: /**
ignored: /health**,/info**,/metrics**,/trace**
user:
name: admin
password: tupassword
For Spring Boot 2 the configuration in application.yml are now under spring.security.* (https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/appendix-application-properties.html#security-properties)
spring.security:
basic:
enabled: true
path: /**
ignored: /health**,/info**,/metrics**,/trace**
user:
name: admin
password: tupassword
encrypted text can be placed in bootstrap.yml.
