Article: Spring Security Configuration with Flow Diagrams
- Spring Security is an enterprise framework that provides authentication, authorization, and other security features for Java/Jakarta EE applications.
- Developers can configure Spring Security's SecurityFilterChain interface for managing CORS, CSRF protections, and authentication filters while allowing specific endpoints such as sign-up and login.
- Access and refresh tokens can strategically be used to balance security concerns with user convenience, minimizing the risks of token compromise while enhancing user experience.
- Axios can be used within client-side applications to handle token-based requests efficiently, with interceptors that manage token insertion and refresh scenarios, ensuring robust and seamless user interactions.
- Flow diagrams can be used to better understand the API calls that Spring Security orchestrates under the hood.
- The article describes a solution for registering and authenticating a user through a client-side JavaScript application using the Spring Security infrastructure, access and refresh tokens.
- The system supports user registration, user authentication and authorization, count of registered users, and token refresh processes.
- The article explains how these processes can be configured and relevant Spring Security classes such as SecurityFilterChain, LoginAuthenticationFilter, TokenAuthenticationFilter, and RefreshTokenAuthenticationFilter.
- The article also provides a description of the process on the client-side using the axios library to handle token-based requests.
