spring cloud config server authentication

  1. Dependencies: Add the following dependencies to your Spring Cloud Config Server project: xml <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-config-server</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId> </dependency>

  2. Configuration: In your application.properties or application.yml, configure the server and security properties: yaml spring: cloud: config: server: git: uri: <URL-to-your-config-repo> security: user: name: <username> password: <password>

  3. Security Configuration Class: Create a configuration class to enable HTTP Basic authentication: ```java import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration; import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity; import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity; import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;

@Configuration @EnableWebSecurity public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter { @Override protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception { http .authorizeRequests() .antMatchers("/actuator/").permitAll() .anyRequest().authenticated() .and() .httpBasic(); } } ```

  1. Custom Authentication Configuration (Optional): If you prefer custom authentication, create a class implementing AuthenticationProvider and configure it: ```java import org.springframework.security.authentication.AuthenticationProvider; import org.springframework.security.core.Authentication; import org.springframework.security.core.AuthenticationException;

public class CustomAuthenticationProvider implements AuthenticationProvider { // Implement the authentication logic } ```

  1. Secure Endpoints (Optional): If you want to secure specific endpoints, configure it in your application.properties or application.yml: yaml management: endpoints: web: exposure: include: <comma-separated-endpoints>

  2. Testing: Test the authentication by accessing the Config Server endpoints with the configured credentials.

  3. Additional Security Configurations (Optional): For more advanced security configurations, refer to the Spring Security documentation and customize the configuration class accordingly.

  4. Deployment: Deploy your Spring Cloud Config Server with the configured security settings to your chosen environment.

  5. Client Configuration: Ensure that clients accessing the Config Server provide the correct credentials in their bootstrap.properties or bootstrap.yml files: yaml spring: cloud: config: username: <username> password: <password>
