Introduction

Are you experiencing issues with Basic Authentication in your Spring Boot 3 application? If you're familiar with Spring Security, you may have encountered a scenario where the application still prompts for username and password, despite your efforts to disable these features. This guide explores how to effectively disable Basic Authentication and prevent the generation of a security password that might complicate your workflow.

The Problem

A user implemented a security configuration in their Spring Boot 3 application with the intent to disable Basic Authentication. Here’s a brief overview of their setup:

They defined a SecurityFilterChain bean in their application.

Although they configured HTTP basic authentication, the application still generated a warning stating a security password is being generated.

Here's a sample of the relevant code:

Despite these configurations, the warning persisted, suggesting that there is still some Default Security settings at play, specifically with regards to generating a default user password.

The Solution

To resolve the issue and successfully disable Basic Authentication, you can follow these steps:

1. Exclude the Auto-Configuration

Spring Boot comes with default configurations that might interfere with your custom setup. In this case, you would want to exclude the UserDetailsServiceAutoConfiguration which is responsible for creating a default security password.

Add the following line to your application.properties file:

This line effectively tells Spring Boot to skip the setup of user details, which in turn stops it from generating a security password.

2. Review Your Security Configuration

Ensure your security configurations are comprehensive and correctly structured. Here’s a cleaner version you might want to consider:

3. Customize Your Project Configuration

Make sure that your ProjectConfig class includes the necessary annotations and configurations to enable Feign clients and other required services without conflicting with the security context.

Conclusion

By taking these steps, you will effectively disable Basic Authentication in your Spring Boot 3 application and eliminate any unwanted prompts for credentials. The exclusion of the UserDetailsServiceAutoConfiguration is key to resolving your initial issues.

If you continue to experience similar problems, consider reviewing your dependencies, security setup, and application properties. Configurations in Spring Boot can sometimes be intricate, but with careful management, you can achieve the security setup you desire without the oversight of unwanted Basic Auth behaviors.
