I am not a Java programmer by profession. I am working on building an app for our lab. It started out as a Spring MVC app with JSP files. It has now migrated to a Spring REST API that uses OAUTH2 as a standalone authentication and authorization server. I am using a MySQL database to store my data and users. I can successfully get an access_token issued if I use Postman to access the server. However if I use the Angular 2 client I setup I cannot get past the pre-flight OPTIONS request sent by the client to the server. I have tried several different ways to configure a CORS filter, but I cannot get that filter to get implemented and I always get a 401 code returned for the pre-flight request. I have tried implementing the suggested solution in the Spring blog https://spring.io/blog/2015/06/08/cors-support-in-spring-framework but that hasn't worked yet.
In my pom.xml file I am using these versions of Spring
Spring Framework - 4.3.2.RELEASE
Spring Security - 4.1.2.RELEASE
Spring Security OAUTH2 - 2.0.10.RELEASE
I also included Spring Boot 1.4.0 when trying to use FilterRegistrationBean
Here is my code as it is right now.
WebConfig Class:
@EnableWebMvc
@Configuration
@ComponentScan(basePackages={"eng.lab"})
@Import({ApplicationContext.class})
@PropertySource("classpath:application.properties")
public class WebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter{
/* @Override
public void addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry registry) {
registry.addMapping("/**");
}*/
}
SecurityConfig Class:
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
@PropertySource("classpath:application.properties")
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
@Autowired
DataSource dataSource;
@Autowired
public void configAuthentication(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
auth.jdbcAuthentication().dataSource(dataSource)
.usersByUsernameQuery(
"select username,password, enabled from user where username=?")
.authoritiesByUsernameQuery(
"select u.username, r.role from User u, Role r where r.id=u.roleId and u.userName=?");
}
@Autowired
private ClientDetailsService clientDetailsService;
@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.csrf().disable()
.anonymous().disable()
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers(HttpMethod.OPTIONS, "/oauth/token").permitAll()
//.requestMatchers(CorsUtils::isCorsRequest).permitAll()
.antMatchers("/oauth/token").permitAll();
}
@Override
@Bean
public AuthenticationManager authenticationManagerBean() throws Exception {
return super.authenticationManagerBean();
}
@Bean
public TokenStore tokenStore() {
return new InMemoryTokenStore();
}
@Bean
@Autowired
public TokenStoreUserApprovalHandler userApprovalHandler(TokenStore tokenStore){
TokenStoreUserApprovalHandler handler = new TokenStoreUserApprovalHandler();
handler.setTokenStore(tokenStore);
handler.setRequestFactory(new DefaultOAuth2RequestFactory(clientDetailsService));
handler.setClientDetailsService(clientDetailsService);
return handler;
}
@Bean
@Autowired
public ApprovalStore approvalStore(TokenStore tokenStore) throws Exception {
TokenApprovalStore store = new TokenApprovalStore();
store.setTokenStore(tokenStore);
return store;
}
}
MethodSecurityConfig Class:
@Configuration
@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity(prePostEnabled = true, proxyTargetClass = true)
public class MethodSecurityConfig extends GlobalMethodSecurityConfiguration {
@SuppressWarnings("unused")
@Autowired
private SecurityConfig securityConfig;
@Override
protected MethodSecurityExpressionHandler createExpressionHandler() {
return new OAuth2MethodSecurityExpressionHandler();
}
}
WebAppInitializer Class:
public class WebAppInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer{
@Override
public void onStartup(ServletContext container) throws ServletException {
AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext rootContext = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
rootContext.register(WebConfig.class);
container.addListener(new ContextLoaderListener(rootContext));
DelegatingFilterProxy filter = new DelegatingFilterProxy("springSecurityFilterChain");
DispatcherServlet dispatcherServlet = new DispatcherServlet(rootContext);
ServletRegistration.Dynamic registration = container.addServlet("dispatcherServlet", dispatcherServlet);
container.addFilter("springSecurityFilterChain", filter).addMappingForUrlPatterns(null, false, "/*");
registration.setLoadOnStartup(1);
registration.addMapping("/");
}
}
SimpleCorsFilter Class:
@Component
@Order(Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE)
public class SimpleCorsFilter implements Filter {
public SimpleCorsFilter() {
}
@Override
public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) res;
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) req;
response.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
response.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "POST, GET, OPTIONS, DELETE");
response.setHeader("Access-Control-Max-Age", "3600");
response.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "x-requested-with, authorization");
if ("OPTIONS".equalsIgnoreCase(request.getMethod())) {
response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_OK);
} else {
chain.doFilter(req, res);
}
}
@Override
public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) {
}
@Override
public void destroy() {
}
}
If I include a second WebSecurityConfig class I do get a 403 code instead.
MyWebSecurity Class:
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
@Order(-1)
public class MyWebSecurity extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers(HttpMethod.OPTIONS, "/oauth/token").permitAll();
}
}
Any suggestions as to how to get past the pre-flight issue beyond waiting for the DATAREST-573 bug to be fixed?
UPDATE: I tried Benjamin's suggestion, but not sure I implemented the solution properly. I have edited my WebConfig class as folows but the pre-flight still fails. The filter still isn't getting applied.
